TEACHERS AND STUDENTS AS CURRICULAR THINKERS: FINDING THE CRACKS TO TEACH LITERACY
In spite of intense pressures to conform, teachers are resisting the increasingly narrow 'quick fix' programs and are transforming programs into curriculum where students voices are valued. The surface features of their classrooms may change as a survival mechanism, but the deep structure of their teaching remains the same as they search for meaningful ways to engage students in literacy and inquiry through curriculum negotiation.

NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND'S ASSAULT ON LEARNING TO READ
No Child Left Behind legislation has mandated controversial ideas that many educators believe are not good for readers, writers, classroom teachers, and colleges of education. This presentation will discuss how NCLB's political mandates are not based on sound research, and how the legislation is an assault on how children become literate and how teachers teach reading. Specific incidents caused by this widely debated legislation will be shared to prove why NCLB is detrimental to the reading and writing growth of students, the autonomy of classroom teachers, and the preparation of teachers.
