Deborah Court (EDT), Randa Khair Abbas (EDT), Zaki Kamal (EDT) Aspects of Social Justice in an Arab Israeli Teachers' College

Annotation

This collection of essays by faculty at the Arab Academic College in Haifa sheds a social justice-focused light on the work of the college. It provides insight into problems of inequity faced by teacher educators, as well as showing practical strategies and solutions. The book is unique in that, in addition to offering new conceptual understandings, the contributors describe their real-life experiences working with future teachers in such diverse curriculum areas as law, physics, computer studies and English. Many of these students are the first in their families to pursue higher education.The book illuminates the complex experience of Arabic-speaking students, studying in a country where the main language is Hebrew and the academic language, as everywhere, is English. It will be of interest to those working in higher education in the Middle East, and to teacher educators everywhere who work in multicultural settings.
