Secure TransactionBook Description
Pose, Wobble, Flow presents an exciting, liberatory framework for disrupting the pervasive myth that there is one set of surefire, culturally neutral best practices. In this new edition, the authors update and expand their pedagogical model to support lifelong success for teachers of all subject areas and grade levels. Providing six different teaching stances or poses that teachers can use to meet the needs of all students, this popular resource offers guidance for teaching and learning in today's challenging sociopolitical climate. The authors describe how teachers can expect to wobble as they adapt instruction to the needs of their students, while also incorporating new insights about their own positionality and preconceptions of teaching. Readers are encouraged to recognize this flexibility as a positive process or flow that can be used to address challenges and adopt ambitious teaching strategies like those depicted in this book. Each chapter highlights a particular pose, describes how to work through common wobbles, incorporates teacher voices, and provides discussion activities for collective teacher inquiry.
Book Features:
- A structure for career-long growth for K-12 teachers of all subject areas, including ways to adapt pedagogy from one year to the next.
- A process of growing as an educator that questions existing inequities in schooling and society and frames teaching around a commitment to changing them.
- Six poses that are standards-aligned, critical, and expand the possibilities of what takes place in school.
- Guidelines for creating original poses beyond the scope of the book, discussion questions for courses, and resources for classroom teachers.
