[youthradioleaders] resources on teaching, youth, pedagogy?

[judy fiestal]

Hi All-
What immediately comes to mind for me is the Rethinking Schools organization which publishes a
quarterly magazine and books dealing with different issues that address introducing young people
to social injustice issues: http://www.rethinkingschools.org. Although geared for the public
school teacher- the activities they discuss can be easily adapted for a variety of organizations
working with youth.
I'll look forward to hearing about more resources from the group.
Thanks for the discussion-
