Reader reviews for Teaching Toward Freedom: Moral Commitment and Ethical Action in the Classroom

From the publisher

The education expert presents an ethics for teachers of all levels, arguing that teachers are ultimately working toward a vision of social justice and should therefore incorporate this reality into their work.

First line

The allure of teaching, that ineffable magic drawing me back to the classroom again and again, issues from an ideal that lies directly at its heart: Teaching, at its best, is an enterprise that helps human beings reach the full measure of their humanity.

Media reviews

Teaching toward Freedom is powerful, thought-provoking, and a must-read for everyone concerned with the state of education.--Deborah Donovan, Booklist

[Ayers] makes the case that larger society needs to understand what it means to teach toward freedom. . . .Ayers's model asks that students imagine different future worlds where justice is better served and where we create a vision needed for a better world."--Lee Baker, Altar Magazine

"Five thoughtful essays that examine how teachers need to value their students, challenge themselves, and teach for freedom."--Bob Peterson, Rethinking Schools

Praise for A Kind and Just Parent:

"William Ayers is as sensitive and gifted a chronicler as he is a teacher."--Studs Terkel, author of Hope Dies Last and Working


From the Trade Paperback edition.
