This is a book about reality and hope. Its chapters reframe the
concept of gap, acknowledging distances (for example, acknowledging
old insights and theory while also honoring teacher discovery).
However, it refuses to bow under the weight of these challenges.
Its contributors focus, instead on how to overcome acknowledged
inadequacies in learning how to teach writing as well as how to
practice principled literacy instruction. These contributors see
gaps not as unbridgeable chasms, but rather as opportunities to
educate their students to use writing to understand the broader
context of their education and pre-service candidates to adapt
curriculum creatively. Contributors include new and seasoned
secondary school teachers, graduate students, and university
faculty who together remind us of ""old insights needing to be
passed along"" (Villanueva) and show us new practices that
challenge the conventions of the status quo and promote social
justice. To close the gaps, in short, they demonstrate how rhetoric
and truth are intertwined. In a time when too many children
continue to be left behind, this book should be required reading
for all literacy teachers because it is in our continued
willingness to learn from each other that hope resides.
