A Nonviolent Philosophical Framework in Response to Writing
The words teachers write on student work have the power to help students think critically and to hone and project their voices with confidence.
A nonviolent philosophical framework with practical methods for teachers and others who respond to writDrawing on Indigenous theories of listening, connectedness, and equality, Sheri Rysdam and JT Torres offer a model of nonviolent response with powerful implications for teachers and others committed to empathetic engagement with writing. Striking the perfect balance between theory and practice, the book makes a compelling case for this approach to response, and its reflective prompts equip readers to undertake this valuable work.
-- Ellen C. Carillo, University of ConnecticutNonviolent Response offers a framework to not only revise the ways teachers think about response strategies and techniques in relation to student writing (especially marginalized students), but also to rethink the craft and delivery of personal, professional, and civic response. Notably, the authors draw on current learning science, in addition to contemporary composition theory, to offer a fresh understanding of familiar material.
