We Want to Do More Than Survive: Abolitionist Teaching and the Pursuit of Educational Freedom by Bettina Love

informative medium-paced

4.0

This book should be required for teacher prep programs as well as educational admin programs. It left me wanting more but had a lot of good jumping off points to continue the work of teaching in a way that resists the educational survival complex.
