No Deposit, No Return: Enriching Literacy Teaching And Learning Through Critical Inquiry Pedagogy

by Jennifer Aaron, Eurydice B. Bauer

Foster a classroom community in which teachers and students make their own meanings of the world and consider their relation to larger social, political, cultural, and historical issues. You’ll find a rich range of perspectives in the stories of K–12 teachers and university educators who participated in a three-year study exploring issues of critical inquiry. This text will show you -the power of research partnerships; -a framework for teachers and teacher educators to provide ongoing professional support for one another; -the complexities, challenges, and possibilities of critical inquiry classrooms; -classrooms where teachers and students transact with community, responsibility, and risk in productive ways.
