Emerging from the hearts and experience of some of America's most knowledgeable and compassionate teachers, this book shows how pedagogies of social justice often mean teaching boldly, against the grain, sometimes in spite of administrative and policy limitations. 'Teach Boldly!' is a call for greater moral, creative, and intellectually stimulating teaching at a time when these characteristics are terribly under-valued. A better educational system would surely emerge were many of the ideas in this book enacted. A wonderful gift for new or veteran teachers! (David Berliner, Arizona State University) 'Teach Boldly!' is one of those rare books that is an absorbing read, not only for practicing and aspiring P-12 educators, but for educators in many types of educational institutions. The issues discussed are significant, the writing is lucid, the arguments are stimulating, and the conclusions are far-reaching. I highly recommend the volume to anyone interested in teaching courageously in challenging settings. (Douglas J.

Synopsis
Counterpoints publishes the most compelling and imaginative books being written in education today. Grounded on the theoretical advances in criticalism, feminism and postmodernism in the last two decades of the twentieth century, Counterpoints engages the meaning of these innovations in various forms of educational expression. Committed to the proposition that theoretical literature should be accessible to a variety of audiences, the series insists that its authors avoid esoteric and jargonistic languages that transform educational scholarship into an elite discourse for the initiated., In today's public schools, teachers are often discouraged by the restrictions placed on them by the education system: federal mandates such as No Child Left Behind, excessive emphasis on standardized testing, pre-packaged curricula, inadequate funding, overcrowded classrooms, cultural incongruence, and social injustices. Teachers feel thwarted from meeting the unique needs of each student, and students continue to fall between the cracks in the system. This book encourages educators to teach boldly , using wisdom and courage to do what they know is best for their students despite the obstacles. A collection of letters from leading educators and scholars to practicing and future teachers, Teach Boldly offers advice, encouragement, and inspiration in the form of bold, innovative ideas to ignite teachers' passion for their work in the midst of a range of discouraging situations. The book can be used as a resource for practicing teachers or as a textbook in teacher education programs. It is relevant to courses in foundations of education, curriculum studies, issues in education, education policy, critical pedagogy, ethics in education, school reform, and educational leadership., In today's public schools, teachers are often discouraged by the restrictions placed on them by the education system: federal mandates such as No Child Left Behind, excessive emphasis on standardized testing, pre-packaged curricula, inadequate funding, overcrowded classrooms, cultural incongruence, and social injustices.
