“Teaching When the World Is on Fire is the perfect blueprint…. We can’t change this world or put out these fires unless we engage and activate the minds and hearts of ourselves and our students. That process starts in these pages.”
“An urgent and earnest collection [that] will resonate with educators looking to teach ‘young people to engage across perspectives’ as a means to ‘creating a just and caring world.’”
