Undoing Ableism: Teaching about Disability in P-12 Classrooms

By Susan Baglieri, Priya Lalvani, Ashley Pollitt

Now in its second edition, Undoing Ableism is the essential sourcebook for teaching about disability and anti-ableism in P-12 classrooms.

Conceptually grounded in disability studies, critical pedagogy, and social justice education, this book provides both a rationale as well as strategies for broad-based inquiries that allow students to examine social and cultural foundations of oppression, learn to disrupt ableism, and position themselves as agents of social change. Using an interactive style, this edition provides a robust set of tools teachers can use to facilitate authentic dialogues with students about constructed meanings of disability, the nature of belongingness, and the creation of inclusive communities. It also features example lesson plans with commentary by teachers who have used the plans in their classrooms.

Undoing Ableism, 2nd Edition is key reading for foundations courses in general, special, and inclusive education teacher preparation programs, as well as for in-service teachers' development and planning.
