Description
This is the second volume in the "Reflective Teaching and the Social Conditions of Schooling" series. Reflection in the area of culture and teaching necessarily takes teachers on both an introspective journey and an examination of the social conditions of schooling. There is a need to know not only what they believe but also what schools do. It has long been charged that our educational system privileges some and disenfranchises others. Schools are not the equitable institutions that one would hope them to be--a feature of schooling and one that deserves a great deal more attention. This work facilitates an examination of its readers' own beliefs, acquaints them with the sentiments and arguments of others, and encourages them to look further into the social conditions of schooling.
Reviews / Votes
"Culture and Teaching significantly advances our understanding of the twin dimensions of reflective practice, one focused on developing practical theory and craft, the other on contextual conditions affecting teaching practice. [The] primary concern is to delineate the social conditions of schooling so that prospective and practicing teachers understand education as an instrument of social reconstruction and justice."-Walter J. Ullrich

"Culture and Teaching is intriguing and important. It integrates general issues of culture and education with particular classroom (and related) settings, and connects these to larger traditions....The vignettes will generate discussion....The authors have taken pains to present both illuminating and contestable situations, which amply illustrate the various schools of thought on these questions."
