Finding Our Own Way: Teachers Exploring Their Assumptions
is about change--the change teachers create and experience
as they move toward a more flexible, interpretive view of
their roles. The articles in this book were written by practicing
teachers who have examined some of the uncertainties and problems
they encountered when moving from a traditional to a holistic
perspective in their teaching.
These teachers have written in order to share their
questions, the conflicts they have undergone, and the change in
beliefs that are part of becoming a learner-directed teacher. The
thread that binds this collection is the realization by all of the
contributors that teaching is a learning enterprise and that teachers
learn from their students, from each other, and ultimately from
themselves.
