Waldorf Education Explained: Rudolf Steiner’s Teaching Philosophy, Child Development, Creativity, and Alternative Schooling in Practice offers a practical introduction to a school model that is widely discussed but often only partly understood.

Julia Lindsey's new audiobook answers teachers' persistent questions about how to teach effectively in small groups, showing teachers how to identify specific "sticking points," or needs, that students typically have—and then respond with routines and methods based on empirical research.

In Teaching to Transgress, Bell Hooks - writer, teacher, and insurgent black intellectual - writes about a new kind of education, education as the practice of freedom. Teaching students to "transgress" against racial, sexual, and class boundaries in order to achieve the gift of freedom is, for Hooks, the teacher's most important goal. Bell Hooks speakes to the heart of education today: how can we rethink teaching practices in the age of multiculturalism? What do we do about teachers who do not want to teach, and students who do not want to learn? How should we deal with racism and sexism in the classroom? Full of passion and politics, Teaching to Transgress combines a practical knowledge of the classroom with a deeply felt connection to the world of emotions and feelings. This is the rare book about teachers and students that dares to raise questions about eros and rage, grief and reconciliation, and the future of teaching itself.
