The Community Classroom - Learning and Growing Together

Avery Nightingale

Beschreibung

In "The Community Classroom: Learning and Growing Together," Avery Nightingale explores a transformative approach to education that transcends traditional classroom boundaries. Rooted in the concept of a human-centric learning environment, this book delves into the experiences of sisal farmers and their children as they learn mathematics in a community-based setting. Nightingale emphasizes the value of social learning, where knowledge is shared and applied within the very environment where life unfolds. By bringing education to the farming grounds, this approach challenges the conventional reliance on technology and formal classrooms, offering a richer, more connected experience. "The Community Classroom" provides a compelling case for rethinking education in low-income rural areas, highlighting the potential for community-driven, inclusive learning to foster real change.

Progressive Dystopia - Abolition...

Savannah Shange

San Francisco is the endgame of gentrification, where racialized displacement means that the Black population of the city hovers at just over three percent. The Robeson Justice Academy opened to serve the few remaining low-income neighborhoods of the city, with the mission of offering liberatory, social justice-themed education to youth of color. While it features a progressive curriculum, including Frantz Fanon and Audre Lorde, the majority Latinx school also has the district's highest suspension rates for Black students. In Progressive Dystopia Savannah Shange explores the potential for reconciling the school's marginalization of Black students with its sincere pursuit of multiracial uplift and solidarity. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork and six years of experience teaching at the school, Shange outlines how the school fails its students and the community because it operates within a space predicated on antiblackness. Seeing San Francisco as a social laboratory for how Black communities survive the end of their worlds, Shange argues for abolition over revolution or progressive reform as the needed path toward Black freedom.

What if it turns out your rightness is one micro-moment away? The micro-moment offers the invitation to pause and tap into your most powerful, ever-present ally, the one that's been patiently waiting for you to come home.Discover how right you are in a world that makes you feel so wrong.
