Description

"Why teach? What makes a good student? What makes a good teacher? These are the questions Educational Foundations: An Anthology of Critical Readings seeks to answer. Authors Alan S. Canestrari and Bruce A. Marlowe have thoroughly updated the fourth edition of Educational Foundations while still retaining the most engaging and relevant readings for students. Bold new essays crafted for this book on current topics like diversity, school safety, data in schools, and teacher strikes offer students the latest perspectives on these crucial topics for new teachers. Updated essays include pieces on the journeys to becoming a teacher from different paths, teaching refugee students and multilingual students, and fostering community and competency in today's classrooms. Classic pieces such as Paolo Friere's "The Banking Concept of Education" and Henry Giroux's "Teachers as Transformative Intellectuals" give students a grounding in the seminal literature of the discipline. Each piece offers suggestions for further reading so students can continue their analysis of the teaching profession"--
