Teaching Classroom Controversies is the...guide for all teachers trying to navigate their way through issues of controversy in the age of ‘fake news’ and ‘alternative facts’. Arguing that schools have a key role to help turn the tide and promote intellectual humility and openness, the book shows teachers how they can set the boundaries to ensure a purposeful learning environment that thinks about controversy in terms of evidence, reasoned argument, and critical reflection.
