Product reviews for A Curriculum of Hope

In her new book, A Curriculum of Hope, Debra outlines an approach for bringing such a hopeful curriculum to life and offers examples from across the world of how schools are doing just that - despite the constraints of national, political and parental expectations. She has previously described this process as pedagogical activism, the small acts of resistance that teachers can implement in their classrooms to effect change. No curriculum can come to life without pedagogy. Curriculum may be the map, but pedagogy is the means of transport - and believe it or not teachers have more autonomy than they think. Like weeds growing through cracks in concrete, hopeful and humane curriculum models are flourishing, and Debra's book celebrates them.-‹
