BECOMING A CRITICAL EDUCATOR - PATRICIA H HINCH...

Many American educators are all too familiar with disengaged students  disenfranchised teachers
sanitized and irrelevant curricula  inadequate support for the neediest schools and students 
and the tyranny of standardizing testing. This text invites teachers and would-be teachers
unhappy with such conditions to consider becoming critical educators - professionals dedicated
to creating schools that genuinely provide equal opportunity for all children. Assuming little
or no background in critical theory  chapters address several essential questions to help
readers develop the understanding and resolve necessary to become change agents. Why do
critical theorists say that education is always political? How do traditional and critical
agendas for schools differ? Which agenda benefits whose children? What classroom and policy
changes does critical practice require? What risks must change agents accept? Resources point
readers toward opportunities to deepen their understanding beyond the limits of these pages.
