The Anatomy Of A Teachable Moment: Implications For Teacher Educators, Phyllis Thompson Jan 2008

The Anatomy Of A Teachable Moment: Implications For Teacher Educators, Phyllis Thompson

Journal of Inquiry and Action in Education

A university professor observes the use of a Native American stereotype by a cooperating teacher in an elementary art classroom while supervising a preservice teacher. She identifies ways that the teacher’s words potentially harmed her students and reflects on her own role. This “teachable moment” is described, and characteristics of institutionalized racism and white dominance are examined as a foundation for racist insensitivities in the classroom. The professor calls for preservice teachers to be prepared in their teacher education programs to be culturally responsive. She draws on a study of preservice teachers mentoring minority children to demonstrate how change can …

The Narrowing Of Knowing: What It Means To Be Literate And Learned In Today's Society, Thomas Smith

Journal of Inquiry and Action in Education

Currently, the idea and definition of learning and literacy is being pushed and pulled in competing directions. Current governmental policies, most notably embodied in the No Child Left Behind law, are pushing the definitions to mechanical enterprises aimed at the lowest common denominator.

The Effects Of Mismatching Teacher Candidates With Mentoring Teachers, Hibajene Shandomo, Jeremy Zelkowski

Journal of Inquiry and Action in Education

The majority of teacher candidates are eager to enter the field of teaching for their junior participation to try out methods such as Problem Solving Approach that they have been learning throughout their classes at college. In mathematics, for example, semester after semester, I place an emphasis on the use of Problem Solving Approach which is natural to children because the world is new to them. Children exhibit curiosity, intelligence, and flexibility as they face new situations (Principles and standards for school mathematics, 2000). In science, the inquiry method is emphasized. The challenge for preservice teachers is to build on …


The Meaning Of Place And Community In Contemporary Educational Discourse, John Siskar, Paul Theobald Jan 2008

The Meaning Of Place And Community In Contemporary Educational Discourse, John Siskar, Paul Theobald

Journal of Inquiry and Action in Education

Place and community are terms used with ever more frequency in discussions, reports, and research related to education, yet there is little agreement related to what these terms mean. This article examines the concepts of place and community in an attempt to bring more clarity to the role they may play in educational theory and, ultimately, educational policy.
