While the goal may be idealistic, these class actions are profoundly practical. Readers will see familiar structures used in innovative ways, such as: An integrated thematic study of discrimination in U.S. history that helps children examine their own prejudices; The involvement of students with learning difficulties in developing their own IEPs; The use of journals, class discussions, and team meetings to prompt self-examination and challenge assumptions; The study of a "poor" character in a novel that helps students examine their own class privilege.
