In its pages, they will find\n\nReal-life examples and student writing from Pitts’s classroom Explorative questions for teachers to consider in their equity work Constructive charts that map out manifestations of harm Activities to engage students in liberated learning Healing and self-care strategies for teachers—particularly Black women educators\nPitts infuses her writing with an extensive knowledge base of the education system, honed over years as a teacher, a coach, a dean, an assistant principal, and a national education consultant. The tenets of this book—rooted in truthtelling, activism, healing, wellness, self-care, and, ultimately, love—both inform and are inspired by the healing work Pitts does with educators to this day. In doing this work, she helps to reimagine the role of the critical teacher.\n\nToward Liberation equips teachers with the tools they need to carve a path toward liberatory educational practices, ensuring that students are afforded the full range of their humanity and their experience, in and out of the classroom.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0807014842\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0807014842.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Pitts, Jamilah\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
