inside/out Contemporary Critical Perspectives in Education [Paperback]

This engaging text examines issues in education and curriculum theory from multiple critical perspectives. Students are encouraged to look at education from the inside (the complex processes, methods and relations that operate within schools) and from the outside (the larger social, economic, and political forces that have affected schools over time). Each essay begins with Guiding Questions and concludes with Questions for Discussion, Teachers as Researchers activities, and Suggested Readings.
