"Teachers need just what the Brookline Teacher Researcher Seminar offers in this book…wonderful, engaging, and intellectually stimulating."
—Ruth Shagoury, Lewis and Clark College

“The Brookline Teacher Researcher Seminar, whose story and work is on display in this book, transformed how we think about teaching, classrooms, and research. Based on the authors’ own experiences and the highly innovative strategies they devised to work together, these teachers developed powerful ways of studying language in classrooms. In the end, they have improved children's lives and set a new standard for teacher research.”
— James Paul Gee, University of Wisconsin-Madison
