Class Action- Teacher's Handbook

In a compelling collaboration, authors Shawn Gude and Bhaskar Sunkara delve into the pressing issues surrounding education reform through the lens of labor rights and social justice. This handbook serves as a vital resource for teachers who seek to engage in discussions about the corporatization of schools and the impact it has on the educational landscape. By addressing the growing influence of corporate interests within the education system, the authors provide educators with the tools to critically analyze and advocate for more equitable practices.

Rich with insights drawn from real-world experiences, this booklet offers both theoretical frameworks and practical strategies for fostering a collective response among educators. It emphasizes the importance of solidarity in union movements and explains how teachers can effectively unite to challenge systemic inequalities. Through its accessible language, the handbook empowers educators to take action not only within their own classrooms, but also in their communities.

Ultimately, this handbook stands as a call to arms for teachers dedicated to advocating for their profession and their students. It encourages a reconceptualization of education, urging educators to resist the prevailing corporate narratives and instead champion a vision of public education that prioritizes the well-being of all students.
