520 |a This book introduces a bold new approach to teaching and learning by weaving together Critical, Indigenous, and Clown (CIC) perspectives through the art of story-listening. While Critical and Indigenous pedagogies have long challenged conventional, dominant models of education, this work adds a surprising and powerful third element: Clown pedagogy. With its emphasis on vulnerability, playfulness, and relationality, the Clown invites us to unlearn rigid roles, embrace uncertainty, and connect more deeply with others. More than a theoretical proposal, this book is a living pedagogy--one that helps educators co-create classrooms where students feel seen, heard, and empowered. It reimagines listening not as obedience or compliance, but as a creative, active, responsive, and collaborative stance toward education. If you are seeking fresh ways to teach, learn, and experience education otherwise, this book offers a humble yet holistic and radically vibrant invitation. Rafael Pellizzer Soares is a Brazilian educator, researcher, and former school leader with over twenty-five years of experience in mathematics education and pedagogical leadership across South and North America. Currently based on Treaty 6 lands-- the traditional gathering place for diverse First Nations, including Cree, Saulteaux, Nakota Sioux, Dene, and Métis peoples, who have lived here since time immemorial-- in what is now known as Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, he serves as a principal instructor with the Aboriginal Teacher Education Program (ATEP) at the University of Alberta. His work explores story-listening as a relational, decolonial, and improvisational pedagogy grounded in Critical, Indigenous, and Clown (CIC) perspectives. His teaching and research approaches emphasize the creation of mistake-friendly, culturally responsive, and non-linear learning environments that support an educational journey focused on nurturing minds, hearts, bodies, and spirits.
