On Distances: From Campus to First Grade and Back Again.
Fitzgerald, Jill
Phi Delta Kappan, v81 n6 p455-61 Feb 2000
After a yearlong first-grade teaching assignment, a professor of literacy studies shares insights about doing instruction versus lecturing about it. Explores scientific knowledge versus practical wisdom, tyranny of method versus centrality of personal relationships, visible versus invisible theories, reduction/simplicity versus complexity, and the ideal teacher versus the "good" outlook. (Contains 14 references.) (MLH)
