Winds of Change? Reading, Writing, and *Assessment: A Longitudinal Study of Two Rural Fourth Grade Teachers

Abstract

dc:description

The study indicates that for long term change to occur, teachers need the support and the time to not only understand the theories behind what they are being asked to do, but also to change: (a) long held beliefs about literacy instruction and assessment, (b) expectations of teacher and student roles in the classroom, and (c) how they use instructional time in the classroom.
