Amplifying Our Practice: Teachers Talking Teaching

Praise for Amplifying Our Practice: Teachers Talking Teaching

In their original and creative style, Wander and Cheney engage us in meaningful reflections about teaching and learning by which we might gain useful insights into students' learning needs, concerns, interests, and aspirations. Aptly titled, Amplifying Our Practice, the authors demonstrate how conversations with a diversity of teaching colleagues, and sharing knowledge and experiences, might serve to "amplify" the teaching practices of elementary teachers. Indeed, who else is best able to provide meaningful insights and relevant advice about ways to construct culturally responsive learning materials, pedagogical approaches, and helpful assessment from which we can all (not just elementary teachers) learn? With useful examples, these award-winning teachers have produced a really inspiring resource for teachers and parents.
