Book synopsis

Often described as a site of contention and resistance, this book rethinks the nature and substance of the contemporary classroom and posits that the classroom can be changed from its current state as a place for conventional learning, to a place for encounter, exploration, and engagement. Learning in the classroom is generally directed and plotted by the formal curriculum and organized by the constraints of the teacher and the physical space. Block believes the classroom can be organized as a place for intellectual and emotional struggle in an environment replete with challenging material that inspires great effort but remains free from the feelings of failure. Organized in this way, we may come to see the classroom transformed from a place of relative conventionality and familiarity to one of relative discomfort and possibility.
