The Missing Language of the Classroom.
Sockett, Hugh; LePage, Pamela
Teaching and Teacher Education, v18 n2 p159-71 Feb 2002
Explores teachers' use of moral language when describing and interpreting K-12 classroom and graduate school experiences, analyzing products developed by practicing teachers from a nontraditional Master's program (exit portfolios, reflective essays, and admission essays). Results suggest that teacher education must encourage teachers to envision classrooms as moral rather than technical arenas and use a moral vocabulary to describe their work. (SM)
