Description

At a time when teachers' professionalism is under assault, this text's frame of 'boldness' moves toward action through clear, accessible, field-tested methods for creating and sustaining practices that forefront agency. Written by and for teachers and teacher educators, chapters guide readers through strategies and frameworks related to writing and discourse.

Emphasizing intersectionality, diversity, equity, and inclusion, sections of the book explore a variety of topics. Section 1, with its focus on empowering bold dialogue in the ELA classroom, offers different avenues for educators who see the value in speaking and listening to build community. Section 2 puts forth innovative strategies to guide teacher educators in developing preservice teachers' identities as writers. Section 3 guides English teachers as they build from proven practices to take more innovative risks. Finally, Section 4 offers support to English teachers who might be struggling amidst today's challenging environment.

Theory-based and practice-focused, this book provides a much-needed bulwark for English teachers. In a moment when so much is in question, when so much is at risk, this book offers a way forward filled with power, professionalism, autonomy, and hope.
