This book was released on 2017-01-03 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A New York Times Best Seller "Essential reading for all adults who work with black and brown young people...Filled with exceptional intellectual sophistication and necessary wisdom for the future of education."—Imani Perry, National Book Award Winner author of South To America An award-winning educator offers a much-needed antidote to traditional top-down pedagogy and promises to radically reframe the landscape of urban education for the better Drawing on his own experience of feeling undervalued and invisible in classrooms as a young man of color, Dr. Christopher Emdin has merged his experiences with more than a decade of teaching and researching in urban America. He takes to task the perception of urban youth of color as unteachable, and he challenges educators to embrace and respect each student’s culture and to reimagine the classroom as a site where roles are reversed and students become the experts in their own learning. Putting forth his theory of Reality Pedagogy, Emdin provides practical tools to unleash the brilliance and eagerness of youth and educators alike—both of whom have been typecast and stymied by outdated modes of thinking about urban education. With this fresh and engaging new pedagogical vision, Emdin demonstrates the importance of creating a family structure and building communities within the classroom, using culturally relevant strategies like hip-hop music and call-and-response, and connecting the experiences of urban youth to indigenous populations globally. Merging real stories with theory, research, and practice, Emdin demonstrates how by implementing the “Seven Cs” of reality pedagogy in their own classrooms, urban youth of color benefit from truly transformative education.

Download or read book Teaching Right from Wrong written by James DiGiacomo and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For moral education to be effective, it must take into account the cultural, philosophical, and religious factors that influence moral development. The way growing children think and feel about right and wrong depends to a great extent on society's dominant culture, as expressed through mass communication media. These media promote values, attitudes, and points of view that may affirm or negate what is taught at home, in church, or in school. Within the same society, there are underlying, implicit philosophies that structure moral discourse among old and young. For those who belong to churches, there are religious suppositions and perspectives that make their own contributions. These are highly developed within the Catholic community, providing their own resources and posing their own distinctive challenges. This book analyzes these factors, describes their impact on young people, and offers suggestions for instruction. Following a preface and an introduction, the book is divided into the following chapters: (1) "Cultural" ("Not Just Greed"; "A World View"; "The Marginalization of Religion"; "Feeling Like Outsiders"); (2) "Philosophical" ("The Authoritarian Shortcut"; "Formation of Conscience"); (3) "Theological" ("The Role of the Church"; "Conscience and Authority"; "A Modest Proposal"); and (4) "Medium and Message" ("Styles of Governance"; "What To Teach"; "Making Sense of Sex"; "Bad News and Good News"). (Contains 27 endnotes and a 20-item bibliography.) (BT)
