inside/out : Contemporary Critical Perspectives in Education

This engaging text examines issues in education and curriculum theory from multiple critical perspectives.

Students are encouraged to look at education from the "inside" (the complex processes, methods and relations that operate within schools) and from the "outside" (the larger social, economic, and political forces that have affected schools over time).

Each essay begins with "Guiding Questions" and concludes with "Questions for Discussion," "Teachers as Researchers" activities, and "Suggested Readings."
