Growth of a Teacher in a Communication Project

This dissertation studies the professional and overall growth of a primary grade teacher, Emily, while she was involved in an exploratory in-service teacher education project--the Mini-CAMP Project--with the author over a period of 2 1/2 years. This study in turn leads to an examination of the fundamental meaning of growth in a person, and of the nature of the interaction, viz., authentic communication carried by a true commitment to treat the other as equals--which, in the project, made Emily's growth possible.
