Title: Learning from teaching in literacy education
Description: "In each chapter, educators - including Billie J. Askew, Yvonne Rodriquez, and Carol Lyons - share their research-based findings about the structure of an effective professional development program for literacy teachers. Some chapters connect professional development initiatives to student outcomes. Others focus on changes in teachers' instructional practices and growing understandings about literacy development. All chapters clearly report the practical implications of professional development that are relevant to anyone interested in literacy education."

"The research and experience represented in these chapters encompass many varied models and settings. What binds them together is a common theme: true expertise means developing internal systems for learning while teaching and teaching while learning. Whether you are a classroom teacher, a school administrator, a staff developer, a college professor, or a teacher in training, there is much to be learned from Learning from Teaching."--Jacket.
