Alma Flor Ada and F. Isabel Campoy combine inspirational examples and practical how-to's to create a unique resource for teachers! Authors in the Classroom: Transformative Education for Teachers, Students, and Families Thousands of teachers have experienced the awakening of their own creative writing voice through participating in the writing courses and workshops offered by Alma Flor Ada and Isabel Campoy. The rich tapestry of these teachers' voices is a major highlight of this book. In turn, teachers have used their own self-published works to inspire students and parents to write their own stories, and those voices are included in here as well. In addition to offering a plethora of inspiring examples of works authored by classroom teachers, parents, and students, this book also includes practical, step-by-step activities and a solid grounding in theory. Written in a clear and reader-friendly style, this combination will enable teachers to experience the benefits of this creative approach to building strong classroom communities. Includes 10 thematic units, with writing starters and activities for teachers, parents, and children. Features sections on facilitating classroom dialogue and unlearning oppression/education for liberation. Showcases abundant examples of teachers' self-published books, as well as students' and parents' writing. This book is nearly perfect. It will become a classic.

The examples speak for themselves about the rich potential of the model.
