- Summary:
-
Focusing on teachers' perspectives, this report examines sociocultural diversity and teaching by reconstructing the talk of a group of 10 teachers from the Oakland and Berkeley, California areas who met weekly for a school year. The curricular focus of the group was the teaching of writing, but over time the discussions of difference and child literacy broadened. A framework for teacher reflection, a framework grounded in teachers' reflections on classroom experiences, is outlined. Chapters in the report are: (1) Introduction: Teaching in City Schools; (2) Relationships in and Out of the Classroom: "Who Am I to Them?"; (3) Building Classroom Communities: "I'm from Texas; What Are You?"; (4) Negotiating Permeable Activities: "At First I Didn't Understand"; (5) Portraits of Children Learning: "What Did You Think of Me?"; and (6) Extending the Conversation: "It's Not about Telling You What to Do." A coda (The Permanence of Change and the Power of Reflection) concludes the report. Contains 67 references. (RS)
