The current accountability environment of education in the US has focused on the discussions of improving the quality of educational outcomes based on a set of assumptions that exclude the perspectives of the teacher. This book fills important gaps in the educational reform rhetoric from a theoretical and practical perspective because it first argues for the professionalization of teaching so that teachers can make professional decisions in their classrooms, instead of simply following directions from their supervisors in a top-down fashion. Then, the book provides a detailed framework that can assist educators in creating spaces where teachers can exercise agency in a way that will benefit their students.

No contexto da necessidade de compreensao das formas de organizacao dos territorios indigenas no inicio do seculo XXI, esse livro procura revelar e explicar a configuracao socioespacial, cultural e economica da Terra Indigena Votouro, localizada no norte do estado do Rio Grande do Sul (Brasil). A Terra Indigena Votouro, de etnia Kaingang, se caracteriza por apresentar especificidades e generalizacoes que proporcionam entendimentos e esclarecimentos a cerca da organizacao do espaco vivido pela comunidade indigena. Assim, esse livro proporciona subsidios para a compreensao da racionalidade indigena kaingang frente a racionalidade da sociedade nao indigena, sendo, por conseguinte, uma obra que revela importantes elementos para o entendimento dos atuais embates decorrentes dos processos de demarcacoes (ou de nao demarcacoes) de terras indigenas no Brasil.
