Paperback. The pervasive politicization of education in the United States makes teachers work extraordinarily challenging. Decades of bi-partisan accountability-based reform policies and top-down instructional management have conceived of teachers as mere technicians who consume and implement prefabricated curricular plans. Such views fail to recognize the intimate relationship between curriculum and teaching and minimize educators professional authority.Anti-Authoritarian Curriculum Practice is for teachers exasperated by contemporary educations politicized conditions. Instead of identifying specific authoritarian figures or ideologies, this book critiques authoritarian practicesactions that undermine accountability for how power is exercised.
