How can a teacher work towards social justice and inclusivity in their classroom, while building the resilience needed to maintain healthy balance for themselves?
Recognising and challenging exclusionary structures and practices in schools is crucial to reach and teach every child, but can be stressful for the teachers and staff in the classroom. Through exploring the experiences of real teachers doing this work, author Sarah Schlessinger offers inclusive teaching practices and tools for resilience to equip teachers for ongoing success.
Ideal reading for classroom teachers of all specialisations in practice and in preparation, this book will also be of interest to higher education students of Education Studies, Disability Studies, Critical Race Theory Studies, Sociology, Cultural Anthropology, and related courses.
