Description: Transformative approaches to teaching and learning have become ubiquitous in education today. Researchers practitioners and commentators alike often claim that a truly worthwhile education should transform learners in a profound and enduring way.

The Transformative Classroom engages with these questions left open by the vast discussion of transformative education providing a synthetic overview and critique of some of the most influential approaches today. In doing so the book offers a new theory of transformative education that focuses on awakening and facilitating students aspiration. Drawing on important insights from ethics psychology and the philosophy of education the book provides both conceptual clarity and concrete practical guidance to teachers who hope to create a transformative classroom. This book will be of great interest for academics K - 12 teachers researchers and students in the fields of curriculum and instruction teaching and learning adult education social justice education educational theory and philosophy of education.
