Engaging Teachers: Towards a Radical Democratic Agenda for Schooling

Even before they finished Just Schooling (2000), educators Gale (Monash U., Australia) and Densmore (San Jose State U., California) knew they had more to say on the topic, and launched this sequel. In order to reclaim the education discourse captured by New Right politics, they discuss the anti-democratic nature of markets, the increased control and reduced responsibility by government, and the need for teachers to connect the big picture with local community action and to engage more fully with their communities.
