Summary:

"How and under what conditions can a counterhegemonic pedagogy - that is, a pedagogical practice that runs counter to the traditional instructional culture and power relations of schooling - be learned and extended to large numbers of schools? This book addresses this question by examining the Learning Community Project (LCP), an initially grassroots pedagogical change initiative that succeeded in consolidating and expanding counterhegemonic pedagogies to thousands of schools in their respective countries, with remarkable impact on student learning. The core argument of this book is that radically transforming pedagogy at scale is an endeavour of widespread cultural transformation - that is, a project of fundamentally changing how teachers and students interact with each other in the presence of knowledge, how educators and leaders interact with and transform their institutional surroundings to consolidate and sustain deep learning and engagement in classrooms, and how policy and practice interact with each other. Social movements, rather than large bureaucracies, have been the most prominent agents of cultural renovation aimed at building a more just and democratic societies, and a sustainable world. This book brings the logic of social movements into the educational change field"-- Provided by publisher.
