Human Rights and Schooling

By humanrightsathome

Have we ever needed human rights education more?  For new ideas about the why and how of human rights education and what we can do in our own classrooms, check out the new book by Audrey Osler, Human Rights and Schooling:  An Ethical Framework for Teaching for Social Justice.

According to the publisher:

Human Rights and Schooling examines the theory, research, and practice linking human rights to education in order to broaden the concept of citizenship and social studies education. Bringing scholarship and practice together, the text uses concrete examples to illustrate the links between principles and ideals and actual efforts to realize social justice in and through education. Osler anchors her examination of human rights in the U.N Convention on the Rights of the Child, as well as the U.N. Declaration on Human Rights Education and Training.

The author will be discussing her book at RFK Human Rights in Washington, D.C. on December 1.  For more information and to RSVP for this free event, click here.
