Ira Shor is a pioneer in the field of critical education who for over
twenty years has been experimenting with learning methods. His work
creatively adapts the ideas of Brazilian educator Paulo Freire for
North American classrooms. In Empowering Education Shor offers a
comprehensive theory and practice for critical pedagogy. For Shor,
empowering education is a student-centered, critical and democratic
pedagogy for studying any subject matter and for self and social
change. It takes shape as a dialogue in which teachers and students
mutually investigate everyday themes, social issues, and academic
knowledge. Through dialogue and problem-posing, students become active
agents of their learning. This book shows how students can develop as
critical thinkers, inspired learners, skilled workers, and involved
citizens. Shor carefully analyzes obstacles to and resources for
empowering education, suggesting ways for teachers to transform
traditional approaches into critical and democratic ones. He offers
many examples and applications for the elementary grades through
college and adult education.
