Mirra proposes a model of critical civic empathy that encourages secondary ELA teachers to consider how issues of power and inequity play out in the literacy classroom and how to envision literacy practices as a means of civic engagement. The book reviews core elements of ELA instruction--response to literature, classroom discussion, research, and digital literacy--and demonstrates how these activities can be adapted to foster critical thinking and empathetic perspectives among students. Chapters depict teachers and students engaging in this transformative learning, offer concrete strategies for the classroom, and pose questions to guide school communities in collaborative reflection. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBook Features: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eResponds to our current, divisive political climate to explore what empathy really means and what it takes to teach for it. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplores an innovative concept of critical civic empathy that goes beyond simply being nice to others and emphasizes making positive changes in government and society. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProvides an engaging synthesis of theory and practice that shows how foundational ELA activities can be used to support the development of empathy and civic engagement. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFocuses on both personal empathy (seeing other points of view) and global empathy (understanding the power of position and privilege in social interactions).\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes real-world examples from a variety of schools and discussion questions at the end of each chapter.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eNicole Mirra \u003c\/strong\u003eis an assistant professor of urban teacher education at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, Graduate School of Education.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 160\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.5 x 8.9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 31, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47224657740025,"sku":"9780807759141","price":54.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/1TKpfxK_VM9780807759141.webp?v=1768238016","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/educating-for-empathy-literacy-learning-and-civic-engagement-paperback","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
