| Summary |
"Freire for the Classroom is an anthology of essays by teachers using Paulo Freire methods in their classrooms. These essays, collected from professional journals, represent some of the best experimental teaching done to adapt Freire's liberating pedagogy to North American classrooms. ...The book offers critical theory side-by-side with actual reports of teaching practice so that philosophy is brought down to earth in terms familiar to practicing teachers." From the bookjacket. |
