Since its introduction in 1998 Finding Freedom in the Classroom has impacted countless educators and preservice teachers by providing provocative questions about takenforgranted educational routines as well as an alternative imaginative view of what classrooms might become. This revised edition brings the conversation to the present day with contemporary examples and references to the best current thinking and writing on relevant issues. By defining terms in everyday language and demonstrating their relevance to everyday life in and out of the classroom the book demystifies such formidable concepts as hegemony epistemology and praxis for readers with little or no background in educational philosophy.
