Summary: For the love of the children, do not read this book!
Comment: I am an education student at Texas A&M University and Contextualizing Teaching is one of the worst books on teaching that I have ever read. This book offers virtually no solid answers on teaching techniques or practical classroom applications, but is full of emotionally charged language that stems more from a desire to advance a political agenda than to educate future teachers. While smugly extolling the virtues of tolerance and acceptance of all ideas, the authors consistently use demeaning and invalidating terms to refer to the ideas of anyone who might think differently from them. If you are looking for a feel-good book of postmodern philosophy, this book is right up your alley. However if you want a practical book that will help you become an effective teacher, keep looking.

Summary: Contextualizing Teaching
Comment: This book turns teaching on it's head. It leads you through the history and foundation of education in this country and contemporary issues such as standarized tests, cirriculum develpoment, race, class, gender, and the value of teachers and their job. The authors ask you, the reader to question, to explore and to disagree with them. It is not an easy book to read,it is challenging and difficult at times, but worth while.
