Exactly what are teacher communities? What are they after? How do
they begin? Do they evolve through stages? How alike or different
are they from one another? How are such communities built? It is
these important questions that Joel Westheimer turns to in Among
Schoolteachers. This is a compelling and thoroughly readable
account of two middle schools-one urban and one suburban--that
attempt to build communities which will foster student growth and
learning. With much fine-grained detail about how each professional
community conducted its daily affairs, the author delves beneath
the surface to reveal enormous differences in the goals,
structures, processes, and beliefs of these communities and offers
a new conceptual model for understanding teacher communities in
practice. This book shatters prevailing beliefs and furthers our
understanding of the ways in which teachers' relationships impact
their work and their lives in schools.
