Fighting Social Injustices Through Teacher Collaboration - (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

We really can make a difference in teachers' lives worldwide.

The Federal University of Ceará (UFC) simultaneously hosted the 3rd International Congress of Teacher-Researchers in Fortaleza during a remarkable and intense week! The book sections are dedicated to Self-study and social justice, and Critical pedagogies and contexts of collaboration.
