This book explores how citizen teachers can expand our capacities to imagine what education can feel like when we act as community organizers who can bridge spaces with parents and families. Paying particular attention to community organizing work in one elementary school, the book weaves stories and examples of organizing, specific tools and resources to support citizen teachers and educators in the work, and theoretical engagements to underscore the ways in which a deeply genuine praxis is possible. Each chapter provides key concepts and skills and provides lessons learned to highlight what worked and what did not as we organized. The book moves from describing organizing with teachers, parents, students, and teacher candidates.

Gerald K. Wood is Associate Professor of Educational Foundations in the Department of Educational Leadership at Northern Arizona University, USA. His work focuses broadly on the intersections of critical geographies and community organizing. He has worked with Industrial Areas Foundations affiliates and has been involved in broad-based organizing and youth organizing work.
