This is a vital resource for any teacher or administrator looking to help students tackle issues of race, class, gender, religion, and cultural background. Authors Martha Caldwell and Oman Frame, both lifelong educators, offer a series of teaching strategies designed to encourage conversation and personal reflection, enabling students to think creatively, rather than stereotypically, about difference. Using the Transformational Inquiry method, your students will learn to explore their own identities, share stories and thoughts with their peers, learn more through reading and research, and ultimately take personal and collaborative action to affect social change in their communities. This second edition’s updates include new research throughout, as well as additional lessons on gender and sexuality. The lesson plans and handouts throughout the book are appropriate for middle and high school classes and are easy to implement into your own curriculum.
