| Summary |
"In addition to expanding the traditional definition of narrative to include all forms of expression, the book also offers an original conceptualization of what a classroom community is, and how it is shaped. The book introduces new models for learning about science as well as an argument for and description of how the arts can transform the curriculum. Finally, Gallas describes first hand, the process of doing teacher research, and what distinguishes that process from other kinds of educational research." --book cover |
