Freedom at Work

Reviews / Votes

"This book is a must read for teachers, administrators, and staff developers committed to the education of bilingual students, language equity, and social justice."
-CHOICE

Freedom at Work is a beautifully presented book that offers us an inspiring glimpse of what schools can be for English language learners. There are valuable lessons here about the importance of leadership, about creative ways of designing and sustaining professional development, and about the synergy of researcher-practitioner collaboration. It will be a great addition to the set of readings I usually recommend for future teachers and young researchers.

"Highly accessible to teachers and student teachers, this book offers a brilliant illustration of why schools and educational researchers in university programs should be working hand-in-hand, to more effectively develop viable approaches to schooling and more effective approaches to transforming deficit attitudes and differential practices that threaten freedom and justice."
