Making Schools Matter is an anthology of articles and interviews about classroom issues of continuing importance in education today.

The contributors to this anthology are drawn from across Canada as well as abroad. They offer practical advice on how to develop anti-racism and anti-sexism programs; to interest students in science; make history and social studies relevant; create a curriculum that's dedicated to social justice. Watching these good teachers at work, we too can learn to engage students in their subjects, stretch them as individuals, and help them to think as part of a larger community.

Teachers who care about the role schools play in creating thoughtful, well-rounded individuals in a democratic society will find Making Schools Matter a rich source of ideas.
