Pedagogical Imagination: Volume I: Using The Master'S Tools To Change The Subject Of The Debate (Volume 1)

Dr. Edmund W. Gordon is one of America's most influential advocates for improving education of children from underprivileged backgrounds. Primarily focused on how African American students can triumph over significant odds against success to become better achievers, he has spent much of his life's work developing strategies to close The Achievement Gap" and use knowledge and understanding to develop equity in and through education and improve the human condition. In the preface to volume I, Gordon offers this statement, "Pedagogical Imagination conjoins the creative use of mind to address selected problems in the improvement of education, similarly to C. Wright Mill's admonition that sociological imagination is brought to bear upon the pursuit of understanding in sociology and of solutions to social problems"--
