Pedagogical reinvention begins by questioning the status quo and re-experiencing the ordinary.

Evidence

Educators who reinvent Paulo are also reinventing themselves as teachers and human subjects. Transforming self-in-society begins with questioning the status quo and imagining interventions against the way things are. From chapter to chapter herein, there is a shared political orientation: questioning the status quo in the name of social justice, which is a general foundation of Freirean pedagogy. The “status quo” or “society as we find it” defines the object of the questioning, interrogating in legible language everyday experience represented as problems. I called that disruptive questioning “extraordinarily re-experiencing the ordinary” in my first book, Critical Teaching and Everyday Life (1980). — James D. Kirylo (ed.), Reinventing Pedagogy of the Oppressed, 49
