The show will introduce the audience to the book, A Critical Inquiry Framework for K-12 Teachers, edited by College of Education faculty member JoBeth Allen and Lois Alexander. The book is a set of portraits from K-12 classrooms that illustrate how teachers used the U.N. Rights of the Child as a framework to engage students in critical inquiry of relevant social issues.
The Red Clay Writing project, based in the University of Georgia’s College of Education, with funding from the U.S. Department of Education, holds an annual summer institute in which nearly two dozen area teachers meet to expand their knowledge and share their experience in learning how to best teach writing.
