This book gives voice to our students and how we can help create meaningful learning environments with them."--Gloria Delany-Barmann, Professor and Bilingual/ESL Program Coordinator, Western Illinois University"At a time when education policy seems more influenced by think tanks than by insider knowledge of classrooms, Why Kids Love (and Hate) School: Reflections on Difference does the necessary work of gathering perspectives from the field. The diverse teacher, researcher, and student voices that erupt from these chapters tell a multitude of stories in a cacophony of styles--in turn humorous, cajoling, indignant, intimate, academic, and more. Individually and collectively, they allow readers to experience schooling--its joys and sorrows, triumphs and tragedies--through the eyes of the students the institution was least designed to serve."--Isabel Nuñez, Professor and Chair Department of Educational Studies, Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne"Teacher educators could easily use this book as they work with their preservice students, or it could be studied in a professional learning community seeking to create more inclusive classrooms. Each story provided is worth knowing about and discussing. Indeed, for any educator looking for a little inspiration to gently start some difficult conversations in their teacher education classes or with K-12 teachers, this volume might be a good place to begin." (Read full review at TCR HERE.)--Sarah Elizabeth Barrett, Associate Professor and Associate Dean, Academic Programs, in the Faculty of Education, York University"This compilation of perspectives drawn from experience and research offers an outstanding resource for exploring perspectives of student engagement and learning. Too often, academic discussion of the educative process centers on educator-based prescriptions of what is to be done to and with students, particularly underserved and underachieving students. This work provides valuable and accessible insights into how thoughtful, open exploration by teachers and teacher educators of how students experience schooling might lead to significantly improved outcomes."--Paul L Landry, PhD, Heritage University Review Quote Why Kids Love (and Hate) School underscores how essential relevancy and relationships are to learning. This book gives voice to our students and how we can help create meaningful learning environments with them.
