Teaching and Cultural Democracy: An Interview with Ira Shor.
Overview & Synopsis
Ira Shor discusses the need for democratic education that develops critical, active citizens. Teachers practicing democratic education, characterized by student-centered instruction, power sharing, and collaborative and active learning, find themselves working against the public-school system, a bureaucracy controlled from the top down. Teachers must find allies among parents, colleagues, students, and unions to implement educational innovation. (TD)
