Even though it was written before covid and the current BLM protests, so much of it is directly applicable to how we as teachers can respond to injustice. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must read for today's educators *by K***R on November 3, 2019* An excellent collection of writings about teaching today. The writings are grouped by topic and confront today's toughest issues. The footnotes are a valuable resource for further reading and research. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thoughtful Contributions to a Tough Conversation *by V***N on February 14, 2020* I teach writing and literature to freshmen in a college where the majority of the student body has experienced a great deal of trauma and hardship. My students are insightful and aware, but they also frequently express anxiety and a sense of powerlessness about the troubling events in the world around them. One of the most challenging and, I think, important questions I've faced as an educator is how to address these tough topics in the most constructive, open, and inclusive manner possible. Although I've been given much pedagogical training in my discipline, I feel I still have much to learn about handling these sensitive subjects as they come up, particularly since they impact my students in a direct and personal way.I dove into "Teaching When the World Is on Fire" hoping that it would offer practical advice and teaching strategies. The book is not so much of a "how-to," though, and I suppose this makes sense, considering there are no simple "right answers" about how to approach this complex subject matter. Instead, the book offers a wide variety of essays on a range of subjects by teachers in various grades and educational settings. Although I teach college rather than K-12, I still found much of the content relevant and applicable to my own teaching.Topics include things like hate speech, school safety in an age of mass shootings and police presence in schools, race, gender and sexual harassment, and climate change. With essays like "Teaching Politics in the Age of Trump," some readers may find the book biased toward a liberal ideology, and it does have that clear leaning, but I think it provides important perspectives to help understand the ways that many students are affected by the current political climate. I'll never forget, the day after the 2016 election, coming to class and finding students in tears; many wrote in their journals that they felt silenced or fearful as students of color, young women, religious minorities, immigrants, LGBT students, and/or students with disabilities. This book won't tell you how to respond in such a situation, but it will remind you you're not alone and will give you a chance to reflect on how other teachers have approached tough conversations and situations.In these other teachers' approaches, you will indeed also find some concrete advice. One of my favorite essays in the book was T. Elijah Hawkes' "School Justice: Teaching Politically Fraught Topics." Hawkes' essay addresses the paradox many educators feel between a curriculum that prizes social justice and equality vs. a school system that can (generally inadvertently, I think) perpetuate disparity and inequality. This is certainly something I and my colleagues struggle with at my very diverse university. Here again, there are of course no easy answers, but Hawkes does list - with detailed discussion and personal examples - a number of approaches that can help promote trust, mutual respect, and empowerment in the classroom.I still would have liked more hands-on teaching strategies, especially as a relatively new teacher, but I really appreciated the variety of perspectives and experiences this collection had to offer. I would recommend it as a part of any educator's bookshelf. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/288581140-teaching-when-the-world-is-on-fire-authentic-classroom-advice](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/288581140-teaching-when-the-world-is-on-fire-authentic-classroom-advice) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
