college and university,education,education and reference,schools and teaching,textbooks, Life-Affirming Acts: Education as Transformation in the Writing Classroom (Crosscurrents), Life-Affirming Acts is a journey into trust - trusting what students know and what teachers and students can produce when they collaborate in nurturing and creative environments. It is a unique and engaging expose of the living, working classroom and one teacher's struggle to help his students reach their spiritual and intellectual potential. According to Hector Vila, "Teaching and learning are about seeing, really seeing, deeply, penetratingly, and in an environment that nurtures the audacity we require to experience and examine, fail and criticize, and then describe." The fundamental premise of his book is that we are repressing and even rejecting the language of our students, especially in our reliance on staid and even oppressive methods of education.Vila takes a probing look at his own evolution as a teacher and emerges with fresh insight into how and why pedagogical choices are achieved. What's more, he offers a prescription for change, based upon his own experiences, with solutions and methods for confronting some of our field's most demanding issues:How do we work in crowded, inner-city classrooms where students have disparate learning backgrounds?How do we create learning environments that challenge the negativity inherent in remediation?How do we create curricula that parallel upper-level courses and still ensure that our students feel safe enough to experiment with challenging materials not usually taught in remedial courses?Keepi.
