Join us at 5:30 pm in the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education ground floor library to celebrate the launch of Brave New Teachers. This timely new book is an investigation of democratic teacher practice in culturally diverse school systems. Based on an original study of the Urban Diversity Teacher Education Program at York University, it analyzes the extent to which teachers committed to equity, diversity, and social justice can effectively promote these principles in a climate of conservative school culture, and state-mandated educational reform focusing on standardization and accountability.
Refreshments will be served and there will be several speakers including Mrs. Sylvia Solomon, wife of the late R. Patrick Solomon; a panel discussion lead by John P. Portelli including several authors and participants of the project; and Professor Stan Shapson, former Vice President Academic at York University.
