Review
Schultz transforms the silences of children into opportunities for teachers and students to talk with each other. The struggle of classroom management is not to keep children quiet, nor to get a few of them to contribute at the right time, but to hear and to nurture what is on everyone's mind. --From the Foreword by Ray McDermott, Stanford University
"Rethinking Classroom Participation" is a crucial corrective on the long standing assumption that silence signifies oppression. Schultz has written a text that dignifies the work of teaching and learning in everyday public schools and invites us to re-design our classrooms as landscapes of participation. --Michelle Fine, Distinguished Professor of Social Psychology, Women s Studies and Urban Education, Graduate Center, CUNY
