"Teaching Fiercely delivers an inspiring and practical exploration of what it means to be a just teacher in a system that actively incentivizes injustice. The author will help readers surface their own unjust practices and that of their schools and gain insight into the roots of the problems so they can activate change. Using full color illustrations to engage the reader and highlight the vibrant life within each school community, the book will highlight potential antidotes, and it will give readers access to tools, resources, and community for a different kind of pedagogy. This book will help more people see that justice work is not only an everyday practice, it is also joy. It is not a special march or singular protest, it is the seconds we live and the air we breathe with the students we teach that creates the pathway to joyful, just, and humane school."-- Provided by publisher.
