505 _a"How can Canadian educators begin to instill cultural sensitivity and social awareness in elementary and secondary school students? This vital text attempts to answer that question by bringing together literacy scholars and practicing teachers in a unique cross-Canadian exploration of children’s literature and social justice. Through reflection on the experience of teaching with various Canadian texts including picture books, novels, and graphic novels, the contributors behind Challenging Stories create a “pedagogy of discomfort” that will encourage both educators and their students to develop critical literacy skills.
505 _aThe compelling contributions to this collection highlight the complexities of teaching with texts that address issues of discrimination, historical marginalization, colonialism, racial and gender intolerance, sexual orientation, language, and cultural diversity. The authors offer first-hand insight into the possibilities and challenges of implementing curricular and pedagogical changes to promote equity and social justice in the classroom. Featuring the stories of participating teachers and an annotated bibliography of children’s literature, this invaluable resource will prove to be essential reading for current and future educators."

520 _a"This edited collection highlights the value of contemporary Canadian literature for addressing issues of social justice in elementary, middle school, and high school classrooms. The collection describes how a group of teachers selected Canadian social justice literature and developed curriculum around this literature. The authors also explore the complexities teachers face in addressing controversial and sensitive topics with their students. The chapters, many co-authored by participating teachers, offer insight into the potential and the challenges of making these curricular and pedagogical changes in the classroom to promote equity, empathy, and social awareness in students. The chosen texts address a variety of issues related to social justice, including discrimination, historical marginalization, racial and gender intolerance, sexual orientation, and language and cultural issues. Although the study focused on teaching Canadian texts, the stories address possibilities for developing culturally sensitive curricula and empowering pedagogies."--
