The Theater of Educational Possibility is a graphic textbook dealing with the representation of the art and theory of teaching and learning. It merges images, poetry, academic and theoretical discourses, instructional techniques, sociological analysis, and music lyrics in an effort to show pre-service and in-service teachers and teacher-educators how to enact a critical and creative project of educational reform, renewal and transformation. It is designed to provoke and initiate dialogue and to encourage and support the creation of new knowledge about teaching, learning, literacy, culture, and power. The premise of The Theater arises from the idea that our teaching works best when it operates in authentic contexts of learning. Against the grain of both conservative and liberal educational thought, The Theater challenges educators to think critically and act creatively in the service of a more humane, peaceful and just future.
