Inhaltsangabe

Covering all grade levels, Tensions of Teaching is a collection of teachers' and principals' thoughts and reflections about their 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 discovered 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.
