Interpreting Teacher Practice
Interpreting Teacher Practice: Two Continuing Stories presents a longitudinal study of two language arts teachers, exploring their responses to curriculum change, and how a teacher's past influences current practice. In addition, Renate Schulz addresses the important methodological and complex ethical issues involved in teacher/researcher-university/researcher collaboration, including an honest look at some of the resolved and unresolved problems she faced during the project. Especially important is how Schulz applies literary theory to examine how teachers' stories are constructed and interpreted, and how reader response theory can be useful in finding an approach to reading that honors the intentions of collaborative inquiry and is consonant with the principles of the ethic of caring.

Taking Stock of German Studies in the United States
"Despite cuts in the past decade, enrollments in US German programs have increased modestly, a fact that surely has to do with the importance of Germany and its language on the world stage. The contributors to this volume examine the factors shaping German-language study in the new millennium, highlighting how creative, innovative, inspired approaches have allowed German to weather many of its challenges. The volume will be of interest to scholars, teachers, and students of German who are committed to invigorating its study in the United States." --
Because of the Kids
This book details the story of two teacher-researchers--Jennifer, who is African American, and Karen, who is White--as they set out on a collaborative three year study to explore the impact of racial and cultural differences in Karen's urban middle school classroom. They describe how they learn to confront and deal with the challenges they face so that they can work together. Their study presents the difficulties and importance of collaborations between teachers from different racial and cultural backgrounds as well as insights on how race and culture evolve in teacher-student interactions.
Reading Families
This dynamic text offers a rare glimpse into the literacy development of urban children and their families' role in it. Based on the author's candid interviews with her first-grade students, their parents and grandparents, this book challenges the stereotypical view that urban parents don't care about their children's education. By listening closely to the voices of her students and their families, the author helps us to move beyond negative assumptions, revealing complexities that have previously been undocumented.
