Tensions of Teaching is a collection
of teachers' and principals' thoughts and reflections about ttheir
experiences as practitioners and learners. Through their writings,
the participating educators learned a great deal about the political
nature of teaching, as well as everyday issues that teachers face.
They discovered that every action and every decision in a classroom
carries with it the potential both to support and to interfere with
a student's learning. They observed how their decisions make them
vulnerable and fearful. And, they learned how teaching is fraught
with tensions. The action research, and the writing which brings
it to fruition, allowed them--and all who read this book--to better
understand the constraints under which teachers work.
