| Abstract: | Our research reflects a long-term professional dialogue and inquiry with teachers to develop and refine curriculum to address the needs of students in a high poverty, predominantly African-American school. Through our collaboration, we identify both institutional and personal barriers to changing and implementing a more student-centered curriculum. We also identify teachers' relationships with their students as a resource for effectively reforming the curriculum and propose steps for supporting such change in practice. (Contains 1 footnote.) |
