Description:

Effective, intentional teaching begins with a strong set of beliefs, but even the best teachers struggle to make sure that their classroom practice consistently reflects their core convictions. Here Miller shares her process of defining beliefs, aligning practice, and taking action to ensure children's learning. In an environment where the handing down of scripted programs and "foolproof" curricula is increasingly the norm, this volume offers a compelling reminder that truly transformative teaching is built from the ground up by every teacher, in every classroom, with every group of students.
