A book by Dr. Chelda Smith Kondo will be published in December: Pedagogy of Humanization: Preparing Teachers for Culturally Sustaining Classrooms. Dr. Smith received her Ph.D. in Curriculum and Instruction (Culture and Teaching Emphasis) in 2014, and is a 2021 CEHD Rising Alumni award recipient. Her life work and this book was inspired by her dissertation, Culturally Relevant Pedagogy in Multicultural Teacher Education: A Paradoxical Objective, and guidance from staff and colleagues at CEHD. The purpose of Pedagogy of Humanization is to build a critical mass of educators who know how to employ the principles of critical pedagogy in elementary classrooms.
