Teacher for Social Change – As per CCF 2022 and NEP 2020

Teacher for Social Change is a comprehensive academic book that explores the transformative role of teachers in shaping society through education. Prepared in accordance with the latest curriculum of CCF 2022 under the directives of NEP 2020, this book examines the relationship between education and society, highlighting how teaching can promote social justice, equality, inclusion, critical awareness, and democratic participation.

The book moves beyond conventional approaches to teaching by presenting education as a social, ethical, and transformative practice. It explores how teachers influence social realities through classroom interactions, curriculum choices, institutional practices, and their engagement with learners and communities. Drawing upon the sociology of education, critical pedagogy, and transformative educational thought, it encourages future educators to become reflective, inclusive, and socially responsible professionals.

Across 18 systematically organised chapters, the book covers important themes such as education and social change, sociological theories of schooling, critical pedagogy, teacher identity and positionality, hidden curriculum, ethical and political dimensions of teaching, and the relationship between knowledge, language, and power. It also examines decolonising the curriculum, dialogic and inquiry-based pedagogies, learner agency, digital literacy, teacher leadership, community engagement, and practitioner action research.

Special emphasis is placed on contemporary educational challenges, including educational inequalities, social stratification, linguistic justice, digital divide, global education policies, sustainability, ecological justice, and innovation in education. The discussions encourage teachers to question existing assumptions, challenge discriminatory practices, and create intellectually stimulating, democratic, and inclusive learning environments.
