Inquiry and Urban Classrooms: A Female African-American Teacher in Search of Truth.
Sims, Michele Jean
Theory into Practice, v31 n4 p342-49 Fall 1992
The article describes how an urban African-American teacher inquired into, reflected upon, and analyzed her beliefs and assumptions about her practice and reconciled the need for personal and professional truth. Because teacher inquiry shapes curriculum and attitudes, literacy teachers must examine the pretexts under which they make assumptions. (SM)
