Leila Christenbury is well known as a writer and researcher in
English Education: her classic book ""Making the Journey"", now in
its third edition, has been a guide to countless middle and high
school language arts teachers. In her new book, this veteran
teacher and teacher educator reveals what did and - more
surprisingly - did not happen when she returned to the high school
classroom after a hiatus of many years. Exploring her experiences
in light of current teacher preparation reform efforts, the
author's compelling narrative is a continuation of her earlier work
that will resonate with those concerned about the state of today's
American secondary education.In addition to personal reflections on
her practice, Christenbury also: provides specific recommendations
for enhancing the English classroom; explores the state of the
American comprehensive high school and the fiction of excellence;
examines the role of school in relation to the suburban middle
class; addresses a number of problem areas: the timing of high
stakes tests, policies regarding academic regulations, the
uncritical adoption of a college ""model,"" the widening use of
dual enrollment courses, and more.
