Description+

This unique collection of exemplars explores narrative as a powerful means of inquiry, while also examining its possible limitations. Drawing on the experiences of teachers and teacher educators in a variety of settings who have been researching their own teaching, this book:

  • Outlines a conceptual framework for considering narrative as a mode of inquiry, including narrative practices that teachers and researchers can try in their own settings.
  • Provides detailed descriptions of exemplars, revealing the contexts in which they were developed, an assessment of how they work, and why they may be problematic.
  • Uncovers how narrative as a mode of inquiry provides a method for investigating, documenting, and representing a scholarship of teaching.
  • Advances the ongoing debates about the role of teachers in inquiring into their own practice, engaging in action research, and building a new epistemology of practice.

Reviews+

“This book demonstrates the power of narrative knowing in the continuing development of teachers. Careful narrative research, as described here, is especially important now, when governmental policies are demanding an almost exclusive emphasis on experimental designs. This collection shows what we stand to lose if narrative research is discarded.”
— Nel Noddings, Lee L. Jacks Professor of Child Education Emerita, Stanford University
