EMPOWERING EDUCATION, CRITICAL TEACHING FOR SOCIAL CHANGE
By Ira Shor
Shor creatively adapts and extends the ideas of Brazilian educator Paulo Freire for North American classrooms. For Ira Shor, empowering education is a student-centered, critical and democratic pedagogy for studying any subject matter and for self and social change. It takes shape as a dialogue in which teachers and students mutually investigate everyday themes, social issues, and academic knowledge. Through dialogue and problem-posing, students become active agents of their learning. This book shows how students can develop as critical thinkers, inspired learners, skilled workers, and involved citizens.

PEDAGOGY OF THE OPPRESSED
By Paulo Freire
This text presents a foundation to Freire's philosophy of critical pedagogy. Concepts dealing with the "banking" of education, dialogics, awakening critical consciousness and oppression, are clearly presented with a startling impact. Freire's philosophy presents an avenue of how common citizens, through self-awareness, can struggle to change the structures of society that have previously served to oppress them.
