| Summary |
Drawing on an extensive archive of documents she kept as a first- and second-grade public school teacher in Philadelphia, Strieb captures the complexity and nuance of working with the families of her students. Readers experience how her teaching developed over time and gain access to the useful materials she created throughout her career, including a successful newsletter for parents. Her story also provides an example of practitioner research, showing how teachers can use a variety of data collected in the classroom to both enhance their own practice and to inform that of others. --from publisher description |
