About the author

Elizabeth Ellsworth is a writer and artist.  Solid, Broken, Changing is her young adult novel with scifi and cozy hopepunk elements. It's inspired by her experiences of co-existence on a radically changing planet Earth.

Formerly a student of film studies, Ellsworth takes some of the theories she learned there and applies them to the theory of teaching. Just as films/film-makers make a decision about who the viewer is and adjusts the story accordingly, a teacher makes similar choices (whether consciously or subconsciously). Powerful stuff... and helps you think about the power you wield when you stand in front of a classroom.

This is one of the most powerful books on teaching and pedagogy that I have read. It informs my thinking about my practice regularly. It is not an easy read, but it is worth spending some time on the content.
