Children's Books for Grown-Up Teachers: Reading and Writing Curriculum Theory

By Peter Appelbaum

Teachers and prospective teachers read children's books, but that reading is often done as a "teacher" - that is, as planning for instruction - rather than as a "reader" engaged with the text. Children's Books for Grown-Up Teachers models the kind of thinking about teaching and learning - the sort of curriculum theorizing - accomplished through teachers' interactions with the everyday materials of teaching. It starts with children's books, branches out into other youth culture texts, and subsequently to thinking about everyday life itself.
