Kindergarten teachers' literacy beliefs and self-reported practices: On the heels of a new national literacy curriculum

This study took place six years after the introduction of a national early literacy curriculum in Israel. We compared the beliefs of kindergarten teachers on the importance of literacy goals with their perception of parents' and the educational system's beliefs. We examined teachers' self-reported practices and how these practices changed with the curriculum adoption. Teachers (N = 120) responded to a closed questionnaire, and 12 of them were interviewed. Incongruence emerged between teachers' own beliefs and the beliefs they attributed to others. This incongruence facilitates understanding of the rationales for their practices and their relationships with parents and professional partners.     

Assuming my Transformation: Transforming my Assumptions

As a White, middle-class, English-speaking female of the type commonly found in teacher education programs, I have had to learn how to use my perspective to challenge the assumptions of the “typical” student teachers for whom I am a teacher educator. This self-study describes how I have been transformed by this learning process. Studying my teaching has provided me with opportunities to challenge my own assumptions about teacher education and to confront my issues of control and ambiguity as they relate to teaching.

我的老师

他是一位美术老师,也是我们班的第二任班主任. 因为爱好绘画,所以我对每位美术老师都有着与生俱来的好感.在他没当我们班主任之前,在所有任课老师中,我唯独不会排斥美术老师.但是这次,我史无前例地对他有了不满情绪,不为别的,仅仅因为他是我们的新班主任. 对于他的任职,不止是我一个人有意见,班上的大多数同学都心存芥蒂.我们虽然对他并不太了解,却固执地认为他没有能力带好我们.因为在我们的印象中,他是那种温蔼谦和、脾气好得没话说的人.我们实在怀疑他的领导能力,怀疑他是否能担起这一班之主的重任.     

吴均山水小品的“无我之境”刍论

以《与朱元思书》为代表,吴均的山水小品,其清峻脱俗而又不失富丽精工的格调,绝立于"绮纷披,宫徵糜曼"的齐梁文坛,同时也营造出一种清新恬淡的"无我之境"。
