Mistakes We Have Made: Implications for Social Justice Educators, second edition, continues the conversation started in the first edition. Dr. Bre Evans-Santiago has once again collected a variety of voices from authors with a wealth of experience teaching in K-12 schools and utilizing culturally relevant practices. This new edition is current with social justice research and strategies, while connecting the audience through personal vignettes in each chapter. The context is organized into three themes: Inclusive Classrooms, Curriculum Implementation, and Professionalism. Reflection questions are provided at the end of each chapter, which will guide the practitioners to self-reflect and plan next steps accordingly. The e-book provides links to videos, strategies, articles, and other supplemental materials to make this text a "one-stop-shop." Mistakes We Have Made speaks to several audiences, from pre-service teachers to any practitioner that needs a new perspective on teaching with a social justice lens. This text can be used in a variety of college courses, professional development workshops, or as a gift for new teachers.
Perfect for courses such as: Social Justice for Educators | Diverse Perspectives for Educational Leaders | Diversity and Multiculturalism | Sociocultural Foundations in Education | Issues in Education | Elementary Teacher Foundations | Sociology of Education
