Guadarrama, Irma, Ed.; And Others
Discovering Our Experiences: Studies in Bilingual/ESL Education, v2 Spr 1995
The serial publication is intended for teachers, principals, program directors, coordinators, and policymakers who work with language-minority students and their educational programs. It provides a forum for presenting innovations, concerns, and recommendations related to the schooling of this population. It has a "narratives of experience" format, using interviews with practitioners, to reflect real-life classroom situations. This volume contains interviews of six experienced teacher researchers who describe, analyze, and implement solutions to unique educational needs and problems. The first article presents a framework for discussing teacher research, emphasizing its importance and describing its varied forms. The following article contains five interviews of six teachers who demonstrate leadership qualities and approached problems in unique ways. In the subsequent section, the "narrative of experience" process is described, insights gained from it are delineated, and each interview is analyzed using a narrative-of-experience grid. The final section features articles by university faculty, presenting helpful information for practitioners interested in conducting classroom research. (MSE)
