Our Schools / Our Selves

Instruments of Social Change

Erika Shaker, ed. Ottawa, ON: Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, 2011; 161 pp; ISSN: 0840-7339, paper $15 CAD.

If schools are truly to be instruments of social change, how we can ensure that the change we build together is inclusive, empathetic, just and empowering; that it serves students, educators and communities; that it broadens horizons rather than narrowing them; and finally, that its ‘strings’ connect and engage rather than bind and limit? Instruments of Social Change examines how schools, students and educators are addressing these issues.
