The Polarized Classroom: Political and Pedagogical Challenges in 21st Century Schools: Extremity in Society and Culture

Dr. Kevin McDonough, Lucia Dikaczova, Dr. David Waddington, Dr. Tessa MacLean
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 4 ian 2027
The Polarized Classroom shows how teachers, administrators, and policymakers can navigate disputes over race, gender identity, free expression, disinformation, curriculum, sexuality education, trans inclusion, and democratic citizenship without retreating from the core responsibilities of schooling.

Contributors - including leading and emerging educational scholars - examine how educators can make principled decisions under pressure, resist censorship and ideological simplification, and create classrooms where disagreement can become a condition for learning rather than a source of paralysis.

The Polarized Classroom provides a timely framework for sustaining educational integrity in contentious times. It shows how schools can confront division while remaining committed to democratic inquiry, student dignity, and responsible teaching.

Recenzii

As teachers struggle to navigate contentious polarized spaces in schools, this book wades into the fray. It offers helpful theoretical and practical suggestions to guide teachers' practices and align them with the overarching aims of democratic education.
Deep disagreement over the preparation of young people for democratic life increasingly affects classrooms at all levels. This book includes essays from leading authors who incorporate thoughtful analysis with valuable guidance. It offers a wealth of resources to educators and researchers aiming to understand, navigate, and address the most pressing contemporary educational challenges.
Reading this book feels like listening in on a roundtable of informed, curious thinkers discussing how political polarization affects schools. The conversation ranges from abstract concepts like teacher impartiality and intellectual humility, to classroom cases of teaching about race, sexuality, and ideology. You'll walk away with a richer, more nuanced understanding of the challenges facing educators today.
