Philosophy & theory of education

First published in 1988, Teachers as Intellectuals encourages us to see schools as democratic spaces in which teachers and students work together to transform society. Giroux incorporates the most valuable insights of critical pedagogy into a more comprehensive and practical theory of schooling, committed to educating students in the language of critique and possibility. At the heart of his vision for schooling is the ability of the teacher to act as a transformative intellectual and to use critical pedagogy as a form of cultural politics. The book includes an introduction by Paulo Freire, a foreword by Peter McLaren and new introduction from the author.

Reviews for Teachers as Intellectuals: Toward a Critical Pedagogy of Learning

[Offers] educators ways for reflecting critically on their own practices and the relationship between schools and society. * The Education Digest * Teachers As Intellectuals is a book for all practitioners and all members of the greater community. Giroux demands reader involvement, transformation, and empowerment. He helps us understand that the political relationship between schools and society is neither artificial nor neutral nor necessarily negative. Rather, school personnel have a positive and dynamic political role to play. * Educational Leadership * We are fortunate to have these ideas expressed so clearly and in one place. It is a very useful book. * Choice * Giroux is one of the grand masters of left educational theory. * Voice Literary Supplement *
