{"product_id":"raging-against-the-mass-schooling-machine-9789463008495","title":"Raging against the Mass-Schooling Machine","description":"The biggest danger for beginning teachers is to teach as they were taught. In order to create teaching identities capable of resisting the mind-numbing orthodoxies of the mass-schooling machine, beginning teachers need to interrogate the theories and practices that have shaped them as teachers.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRaging against the Mass-Schooling Machine\u003c\/i\u003e is a compelling autoethnographic account of one beginning teacher’s struggle to transform his future teaching identity by unpacking the bruising encounters that shaped him as a student. This is a must-read book for all teachers wishing to ‘teach against the grain.’\n\u003cbr\u003eThe journey from student to teacher involves almost two decades of junior, primary, secondary, and tertiary education. Few of us critique this journey to see what emotional legacies and taken-for-granted assumptions we carry from one identity to the other. If we remain \u003ci\u003eunconscious\u003c\/i\u003e of the social and cultural discourses and practices that have shaped and defined us as students and teachers, we may \u003ci\u003eunwittingly\u003c\/i\u003e reproduce the inequalities, prejudices, and traumas we experienced or observed while growing up, or resort to transmission teaching and authoritarian control because this is the formula of schooling most of us know.\n\u003cbr\u003eEmpowering education relies on teachers resisting these toxic scripts and becoming agents of change.","brand":"Andrew Miller","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48310587785467,"sku":"9789463008495","price":37.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9789463008495.jpg?v=1772491685","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/raging-against-the-mass-schooling-machine-9789463008495","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
