He went back to the same Chicago neighborhood, the same public school, and the same grade level and subject he taught in the 1990s. But much had changed--both in schools and in the world outside them. \u003cem\u003eSame As It Never Was\u003c\/em\u003e chronicles Michie's efforts to navigate the new realities of public schooling while also trying to rediscover himself as a teacher. Against a backdrop of teacher strikes and anti-testing protests, the movement for Black lives and the deepening of anti-immigrant sentiment, this book invites readers into an award-winning teacher's classroom as he struggles to teach toward equity and justice in a time where both are elusive for too many children in our nation's schools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBook Features: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e A follow-up to the author's bestseller, Holler If You Hear Me, a long-time staple in teacher education programs.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e An examination of current issues, such as the importance of teacher unions, anti-racist\/culturally relevant teaching, resistance to standardized testing, teacher evaluation, and the political nature of teaching.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e A rare memoir of a professor returning to public school teaching that will inform and inspire a broad audience.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eGregory Michie\u003c\/strong\u003e teaches 7th- and 8th-graders in Chicago's Back of the Yards neighborhood.
