Recenzje

"Do Your Lessons Love Your Students? shows what it means to let the arts lead us to unexpected healing places - the place learners deserve to explore."

Susie Wise, Author of Design for Belonging: How to Build Inclusion and Collaboration in Your Communities

"Steeped in educational theory, years of experience in classroom settings, and a proven track record in professional development, Mariah Rankine Landers and Jessa Brie Moreno are showing us how to humanize the dehumanizing spaces of education and research.

Their book aims to build opportunities for students to build relationships with each other and their educators. Through a culturally and linguistically responsive approach they urge educators to go beyond oppression analysis to create pedagogies that lean toward self-actualization, using creative inquiry, healthy risk taking, and healing-informed work that centers artistic practice at its nexus. 

After reading, reacting, and reflecting on this book, a core assessment moving forward for us all will be 'Do your students love your lessons?'”
