How We "Do" School: Poems to Encourage Teacher Reflection

How We "Do" School: Poems to Encourage Teacher Reflection by Karen Morrow Durica. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780872076105.

The 20 thought-provoking poems in this collection are meant to promote reflective conversation about how educators do school. Each poem, on its own merit, will say something to the teachers who read it, but that message may differ depending on knowledge and past experiences. By stimulating your beliefs and feelings about school, you can begin to examine and reflect on your own classroom practices in order to grow as a professional. Included with each poem is a discussion of the impetus for the poem and its connection to current educational practice, as well as reflection questions, a suggested activity, and additional resources for further in-depth reading on the topic. This structure will enable you to move from discussion to concrete changes.
