Disruption through Design

This teacher-friendly resource guides educators in planning for collaborative inquiry with the goal of disrupting inequitable structures and traditions within classrooms and schools. Disruption through Design provides approaches to designing curriculum, instruction, and assessment that value students' literacies, languages, and lives. Each chapter focuses on different inquiry groups: how they worked, what teachers learned, and how the collaborative inquiry and design process helped teachers push against deficit-oriented practices in their classrooms and school communities. Building on the work of these groups, the authors offer practical tools for engaging in collaborative inquiry and design that leads to deep reflection, needed rejuvenation, and revolution within classroom practice.
