The Changing Face of Education: Teachers Cope with Challenges through Collaboration and Reflective Study
Dearman, Carla C.; Alber, Sheila R.
Reading Teacher, v58 n7 p634-640 Apr 2005
In these times of legislative mandates for accountability and high-stakes testing, meeting the needs of diverse learners has never been more urgent. If change is to occur in classrooms across the United States, the change forces will be the administrators and teachers in each school. Educators must now choose a plan of action to address student diversity, and change the way schools conduct business. This article presents a three-pronged outline for coping with the changing face of education: (1) educators and the process of change; (2) educators finding the time to study together; and (3) educators reflectively reviewing student work in study teams and adjusting research-based instructional practices to improve both teaching and learning.
