Advocacy in the Classroom Problems and Possibilities

"'Advocacy in the Classroom' contains more than 30 essays that probe the ethics of professors advocating 'a personal or political opinion as a way of engaging students.' Writing from a wide range of perspectives, the contributors debate whether such advocacy is a good thing. They are divided on whether it is inevitable or whether it is avoidable. They disagree about whether it is a part of the teaching mission or a betrayal of it. And they wonder where teaching about a subject stops and advocacy begins.Spacks, Patricia M. is the author of 'Advocacy in the Classroom Problems and Possibilities' with ISBN 9780312161279 and ISBN 0312161271.
