In this book S.G. Grant reports his study of how four Michigan
elementary school teachers manage a range of reforms (such as new
tests, textbooks, and curriculum frameworks) in three different
school subjects (reading, writing, and mathematics). Two
significant findings emerge from his comparison of these responses:
teachers' responses vary across classrooms (even when they teach in
the same school building) and also across the reforms (a teacher
might embrace reforms in one subject area, but ignore proposed
changes in another).
This study of teachers' responses to reading, writing, and
mathematics reform and the prospects for systemic reform is part of
a growing trend to look at the intersection of curriculum policy
and teachers' classroom practice. It is unique in the way the
author looks at teachers' responses to multiple subject matter
reforms; uses those responses as part of an analysis of the recent
move toward systemic reform; and employs empirical findings as a
means of examining the current movement toward systemic reform.
"Reforming Reading, Writing, and Mathematics" is important reading
for researchers, practitioners, and graduate students of
educational policy, teaching and learning in reading, writing, and
mathematics, and elementary education, and for policy analysts in
universities, foundations, and government.
