This carefully researched volume is an invaluable go-to guide for teachers eager to address critical conversations responsibly. --English Education This text lays out the why and how of engaging students in these critical conversations, which would be of value to nearly any discussion-based course in any field. The authors also showcase the power of inquiry groups as a tool to study one's own practice and reflect with others in a collaborative setting. --The Wabash Center Journal on Teaching Classroom Talk for Social Change encourages teachers to engage students in noticing and discussing harmful discourses about race, gender, and other identities. The authors take readers through a framework that includes knowledge about power, a critical learner stance, critical pedagogies, critical talk moves, and vulnerability. The text feature in-depth classroom examples from six secondary English language arts classrooms. Each chapter offers specific ways in which teachers can begin and sustain critical conversations with their students, including the creation of teacher inquiry groups that use transcript analysis as a learning tool. --Sir Read A Lot To build classrooms that hold the potential for humanizing, problematizing, and resisting power and oppression, how we interact and relate is central.
