Undoing Ableism: Teaching About Disability in K-12 Classrooms

by Susan Baglieri, Priya Lalvani

Undoing Ableism is a sourcebook for teaching about disability and anti-ableism in K–12 classrooms. Conceptually grounded in disability studies, critical pedagogy, and social justice education, this book provides both a rationale as well as strategies for broad-based inquiries that allow students to examine social and cultural foundations of oppression, learn to disrupt ableism, and position themselves as agents of social change. Using an interactive style, the book provides tools teachers can use to facilitate authentic dialogues with students about constructed meanings of disability, the nature of belongingness, and the creation of inclusive communities.

A valuable academic.

i think that it can be used as an amazing resource for teachers, especially young teachers who are unsure of where to start in their journey concerning ableism in the classroom, as well as an informational text on the history os disability and the disability rights movement. the chapters were set up in an understandable way, but could sometimes feel repetitive. an informative read overall.
