Abstract

Steven Goodman’s book, It’s Not About Grit: Trauma, Inequity, and the Power of Transformative Teaching is a call for transformative pedagogy at all grade levels allowing educators at differing levels to see both the highs and lows of a student’s life through personal stories. The student’s stories focus on the marginalization and misrepresentation within four New York City boroughs.
