Investigating Critical and Contemporary Issues in Education

Investigating Critical and Contemporary Issues in Education provides an abundance of information does more than just list dates, facts, and figures. It challenges the reader to look to the past, present, and future - encouraging beliefs, practice, and perspectives that encourage justice and belonging for all. The publication investigates contemporary Issues in universal pre-k, classroom size, bullying, sex education, censorship, school funding, and lack of credentials.

Investigating Critical and Contemporary Issues in Education also shares overlooked elements in the formation of schooling we see manifested today.  It takes the time to highlight current and historical events that may not be as widely known or understood. The book is not only informative, but also transformative.

To help create better educators, the publication uses opening reflections on key issues, a myriad of case vignettes, and creates connections between concepts and vignettes.  In addition, students are provided with activities and reflection questions to put concepts into practice.  In addition, the publication is packaged with access to KHQ – a quizzing app that provides feedback on concepts and ability to track struggling areas and progress.

To make a change in the classroom, we can expect our teachers to enact this change. If they too understand what is really happening and begin to unlearn and relearn, there will be a difference in our society.
