The Feminist Teacher Anthology: Pedagogies and Classroom Strategies (Athene Series)

For many years, Feminist Teacher has been providing schoolteachers and college/university faculty members with information and classroom teaching strategies. Choosing from their wealth of impressive articles to make up this collection could not have been an easy task. This anthology of the "greatest hits" from Feminist Teacher's first 10 volumes will be an inspiration to educators and thinkers in all sectors of education. Feminist Teacher grew out of the need to examine the classroom and how gender affected-it. Recognizing that the classroom does not sit in isolation but is an expression and outgrowth of the general culture, Feminist Teacher has covered a wide range of ideas such as the chilly classroom climate, mentoring, women in administration., and alternative classroom pedagogies from grade school to graduate school. It has also examined the intersection of race and gender in the classroom, as well as issues involving ethnicity, age, sexuality, and other factors. Each Essay In This Book Is Introduced By Its Original Author. Drawing From Their Own Experiences They Provide Practical Classroom Strategies Such As Readings And Resources, Writing Assignments, Classroom Exercises, And Guidance For Using Journals, Multimedia Workshops And New Technologies. I wrote this article when I had been teaching for 7 full years, which in my youthful view was a long time.
