Teaching Classroom Controversies is a comprehensive guide for educators navigating the complexities of controversy in the era of "fake news" and "alternative facts." The book argues that schools have a vital role to play in fostering intellectual humility and openness, and it provides practical strategies for creating a purposeful learning environment that considers controversy through evidence, reasoned argument, and critical reflection.
The first part of the book offers frameworks for teaching and learning about controversy, covering topics such as facilitating respectful discussion, identifying biases that influence student beliefs, and employing pedagogical techniques that promote critical thinking. It draws on the latest research to provide insights into effective teaching practices.
The second part of the book focuses on teaching the most contentious issues facing young children and teenagers in society today. It addresses a range of topics, including the existence of Santa Claus, the concept of a "normal family," the validity of the Holocaust, the limits of free speech, and more. The book offers practical guidance on how to address these issues in the classroom, promoting open-mindedness, empathy, and critical thinking among students.
By equipping teachers with the tools to develop their students' critical thinking skills on timely and cutting-edge issues of controversy, Teaching Classroom Controversies empowers educators to play a crucial role in shaping the future of our society. It is a valuable resource for educators, policymakers, and anyone interested in promoting intellectual humility and fostering a more informed and engaged citizenry.
