Teaching Is Inquiry - Observation and Reflection As the Heart of Practice

"This book is both a how-to book detailing the practices of teacher inquiry, and also a series of sometimes sad, sometimes joyful stories from the classroom in which the teacher/author uses these practices to conduct inquiries about her students' thinking, Teaching as inquiry is the practice of gaining distance from one's assumptions about teaching, learning and particular students who puzzle us. Often to her surprise Ballenger finds both engagement and serious thought in her struggling students. In this way it is a book as well about democracy, about taking seriously the ideas of all students. Her reflections are both complex and also, open to further interpretation on the part of readers"--
