Angelo Letizia has crafted a wonderful collection of poems which examine impossibly large questions - What is truth? What is real? How can we know? - and looks for answers in a quizzical examination of the everyday.The poetic voice exploring these cosmic questions of the domestic is by turns baffled, amused, outraged, resigned, hopeful, grateful. Faced with the impossibility of finding definitive answers, Letizia offers the poems themselves and posits "now we need poetry to find truth". No argument from us!Toward the Real is a wonderfully complex collection that is engaging, immediate, and rewarding...

Using Servant Leadership provides an instructive guide for how faculty members can engage in servant leadership with administrators, students, and community members. By utilizing a wide range of research and through a series of case studies, Angelo J. Letizia demonstrates how, with a bit of creative thinking, the ideals of servant leadership can work even in the fractious, cash-strapped world of contemporary higher education. Furthermore, he considers how these concepts can be implemented in pedagogy, research, strategic planning, accountability, and assessment. This book points the way to a more humane university, one that truly serves the public good.

Graphic Novels as Pedagogy in Social Studies: How to Draw Citizenship (Palgrave Studies in Global Citizenship Education and Democracy)

This book examines the study of citizenship by means of reading and creating graphic novels and comics in the social studies classroom. The author argues that utilizing graphic novels in the classroom not only helps to teach important concepts, skills, and dispositions of the social studies, but can also empower students with the means to grapple with the complexities of our current times. From the primary school classroom through high school and beyond, graphic novels provide a rich platform to explore a diverse array of issues such as history, critical geography, gender, race and ethnicity, disability, leadership, feminism, sexual identity, philosophy, and social justice issues, as well as provide a multidisciplinary lens for discourse on citizenship. Cultivating multimodal literacy skills through graphic novels allows students and instructors to conceive of and practice citizenship in new, unforeseen ways in an era where truth is in question.&nbsp;To drive this point forward, the author includes examples of both his own and his students' work, along with exercises to be used in social studies classrooms.

PALGRAVE~MACMILLAN

This book presents educators with research-based strategies to promote civic education in their classrooms. Going beyond theory and measures of achievement, these methods focus on information location, evaluation and activation, dialogue in the classroom, understandings of discourse in popular culture and policymaking, and understanding the role of STEM disciplines in democracy. The author also furthers considerations of how the political process can provide meaning and new visions of justice in a globalized world, and advance student leadership and academic writing in the information age.  As the world faces unprecedented levels of poverty, wealth disparity, environmental destruction, and ethical questions regarding biotechnology, the United States needs knowledgeable citizens to effectively deal with these issues. Letizia provides teachers and teacher educators with the needed methods to foster these types of democratic considerations.
