Education and Anarchy sets in motion a way of thinking about, questioning, and responding to what we can do in the face of chaos, which, whether we acknowledge it or not, animates and drives our relation to learning and teaching. Each chapter addresses different aspects of how we can learn to live creatively with this potential for losing control over what we would master, by providing practical examples and lesson plans involving both traditional literary approaches and also more experimental non-verbal modes of expression across the curriculum and disciplines. Education and Anarchy concludes by reaffirming that each student can provide you, the teacher, with ample opportunities to remember, and to learn from, how you learn best. In the end: education is about letting students learn. Despite pressures from above, teachers—-of whatever rank and working in no matter what discipline or field of study— are the ultimate guardians of this truth.

Reviews for Education and Anarchy
How people go about conceptualizing and discharging their duties as teachers and how they devise and implement methods of delivery and assessment are central, Engel argues, to how people define and play out their roles as educators. Stressing how educators can participate deliberately and reflectively in the process by which they let learning happen, 'Education & Anarchy' expands ways of thinking about teaching and learning. . . . RECOMMENDED for pre- and in-service teachers....
