Abstract | This book shows how teacher research and reform can positively change both teachers and students, making them better readers, writers, and learners. Two elementary schools in Georgia, serving students in a poor area that lacks educational resources, are the focus of the Kings Bridge Road Research Team, a group composed of public school teachers, administrators, and university staff. The 11 chapters of this book contributed by members of this team are: (1) "Discovering New Routes to Literacy and Learning" (JoBeth Allen, Frances Hensley, Terry Wood, and Jane Rogers); (2) "Evolving Research Communities" (JoBeth Allen, Marilynn Cary, and Frances Hensley); (3) "Teaching, Learning, and Partnerships: Strategies for Including Special Needs Students" (Jan Kimbrell-Lee and Terry Wood); (4)"Being Somebody Else: Informed Drama in the Fourth Grade" (Carol Carr Kieffer); "The Playground Experience" (Ruth Rowland); (6) "A Schoolwide Study of Assessment Alternatives" (Gwen Bailey); (7) "Developing Portfolio Processes: 'If You Don't Have Anything in There, You Can't Do This'" (Linda Morrison and Ronald Kieffer); (8) "Whole Language, Media Centers, and Classroom Libraries: Research in Action" (Lisa James Delgado, Mary Jane Hilley, Melvin Bowie, and JoBeth Allen); "A Communication Triple Crown: Making Home-School Connections Among Parents, Students, and Teachers" (Jennifer White); (10) "New Pathways to Literacy: A Reflective Look at a First-Year Pre-kindergarten Program" (Marilynn Cary, Lori Davis, and Janet Benton); and (11) "Make Learning Funner, So People Want to Learn: A Longitudinal Study of Students' Perceptions About Schooling" (Lolita Brown, Lori Davis, Patty Griffith, Cheryl Poponi, Dorothy Rice, Jane Rogers, Holly Ward, and Jennifer White). The conclusion is titled "Action Research: Where's the Action?" (Contains 110 references.) (JLS) |
