OK, HOW'S ABOUT SOME FAVORITE BOOK TITLES?

SOME INFLUENTIAL AUTHORS

These are some of my guiding lights. From critical pedagogy to useful classroom and counselor's office use, they are thought-provoking and can give you many ideas about education. Would love to read about some of yours......

• Teaching As A Subversive Activity, by Neil Postman and Charles Weingartner, 1969, A Delta Book (Dell Publishing Company), New York. One of the old classics.....
• Lives on the Boundary: The Struggles and Achievements of America's Underprepared, by Mike Rose, 1989, The Free Press (A Division of Macmillan, Inc.), New York. Very interesting & powerful! Rose was running a Writing Lab at ULCA at the time. He describes his own cultural evolution coming out West.
