Henry Giroux & Critical Pedagogy

Educators
Education
vs. Training
In our assessment focused education system teachers are forced to teach for a test which deskills educators.
Giroux emphasizes that teaching is more than teaching content, its teaching students to think critically.
The focus of critical pedagogy is for the teachers to ask "Why?" and they in turn will encourage their students to ask the same question.
Giroux believes that education is about empowering students not just within the classroom but in all areas of their lives.
Students are taught that they are in school to get jobs and it is not a place to expand their mind. Giroux believes that schools are designed to see students as a commodity and not as the furture of our culture

"There is no rationale in the world that can justify an educational system that reduces students to cheerful robots."

Giroux believes that critical pedagogy is not a method it is an on going process. Critical pedagogy equips students to become critical thinkers not just consumers of what is considered important knowledge
"...it is concerned with teaching students how not only to think but to come to grips with a sense of individual and social responsibility, and what it means to be responsible for one’s actions as part of a broader attempt to be an engaged citizen who can expand and deepen the possibilities of democratic public life."
