This powerful and accessible analysis of the often difficult rhetoric of critical pedagogy argues that critical pedagogy opens the door to a broader and deeper perspective on teaching and learning in the classroom and the community. It strongly encourages teachers to continuously adapt teaching beliefs and strategies to meet the needs of today's classrooms. Critical Pedagogy, 2/e, offers thoughtful examination of the theoretical models of critical pedagogy in an engaging, understandable writing style.
