Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Freire
ISBN: 0826412769 | Published in 2000
Pedagogy of the Oppressed completely changed my view of teaching. The text helps readers think about the power dynamics between teacher and student, and the author helps readers question the purpose of education. Readers cannot help but reflect on how they were taught and how they are currently teaching.
Freire's classroom experience is not transactional and passive; instead, it can be life-altering and powerful for students. He made me think about what a student-focused education really could mean.
If you looked at my classroom before I read this book and then after I read this book, the structure, content, and perspective would be totally different.
