"Get Free shows middle- and secondary educators a framework for making important, intentional shifts in pedagogy to help students become more critical readers, writers, and thinkers - and ultimately more responsible, informed citizens. Get Free is organized around three themes-Self (understanding ourselves, digging into our identities), Others (appreciating diverse perspectives), and Together (synthesizing reading and writing in ways that help us get free!)-that overlay the literacy skill development that teachers are already doing. Chapters include strategies and practical suggestions around topics such as building a classroom culture built on trust and risk-taking; exploring students' identities through reflective writing and rich mentor texts; listening to and unpacking the perspective of others through meaningful conversation; critically reading literature; and constructing and analyzing arguments. These are not prescriptive units or lessons in isolation, but instead a map through the author's thinking process and rationale for teaching moves and student outcomes.
