Into the Classroom: Developing the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (Josseyâ€"Bass/Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching) - hardcover

Praise for Into the Classroom "I am hard-pressed to imagine work more appropriate to the Foundation's mission as articulated by Andrew Carnegie 100 years ago this year, 'To do and perform all things necessary to encourage, uphold, and dignify the profession of the teacher.' Few things can bring greater dignity to teaching at all levels than the expectation that teachers themselves hold the ability and responsibility for learning from their own practice and systemically improving it. I hope that readers will find this volume and its message as heartening as I do." - From the Foreword by Lee S. Shulman "The development of the scholarship of teaching in K-12 classrooms is the centerpiece of this fascinating book. Hatch helps make visible how teachers influence people, structures, and ideas when they are supported in a community that encourages making teaching public. Such knowledge is critical for policy makers, administrators, and teachers themselves." - Ann Lieberman, senior scholar at the Carnegie Foundationfor the Advancement of Teaching
