Society as School Context: In the Mindset of Emergent Teacher and Democratic Subject provides students with a moral and theoretical understanding of education and its implications for schooling in a democratic society. The book elucidates primary social, political, and historical ideas that have influenced schooling from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade throughout the early 21st century. The text helps teachers-in-training become culturally literate, critically conscious, and well prepared to serve student populations from various backgrounds and diverse lived experiences.

The text asks of readers five open-ended questions that are framed to foster critical reflexivity and self-aware responses about schools in contemporary American society. The book also includes seminal readings across theoretical, philosophical, deconstructive, and reconstructive orientations that align with these questions. Students explore the aims of education in a democratic society, the significance of the social and political context of pre-K through 12th grade schools, the teaching ramifications of culturally relevant pedagogy, making meaning of being an emergent teacher, and the foundational philosophical ideas that shape education in a democratic society.

Society as School Context is well-suited for courses in the social, historical, political, and/or cultural foundations of education, and introduction to educational policy studies. It is also a valuable resource for novice and seasoned teachers alike.
