Title: Talking shop
Description: This is a set of stories about how something as simple-sounding as ordinary talk among teachers can become a powerful medium for teacher learning and professional development. The chapters of the book draw from the work of eight groups of teachers in the US and Israel who have met in conversation for the past 4 to 5 years. The chapter authors use the teachers' own words to document their learning and describe the ways in which readers could begin their own sustainable teacher conversation group, both with experienced teachers and with teacher education students.
