Discover the valuable contributions teacher researchers can make to the profession while still rising to the day-to-day demands of teaching.

From the Back Cover
"My teaching practices will never be the same after my classroom research."
This feeling is echoed by teachers at all levels throughout "Teachers are Researchers." The more than 20 chapters included in this volume explore teachers' reflections on what's really happening in their classrooms. They tackle tough questions and reveal valuable information -- both about their teaching practice and about the research process. These teacher researchers formed new visions of themselves as teachers -- and of their students as learners -- by asking questions and discovering answers. Their results are evidence of the valuable contributions teacher research can make to the profession.
Teacher research involves uncovering and challenging assumptions and beliefs about teaching, students, and common school practices. Often questions for research start with a feeling of tension: "Why am I not getting through to all my students? Is there something I could do differently?" What intrigues you in your classroom? What do you wonder about? See how other teachers pursue their inquiries in "Teachers Are Researchers" while still rising to the day-to-day demands of teaching. The book offers a detailed look at getting started -- from how to frame a research question to recording and analyzing observations. It gives examples of studies by elementary, middle school, high school, and college teachers.
Do you wonder if your teaching methods are the most effective they can be? Are you looking for inspiration and direction in your own teacher research? Continue the journey of wondering, searching for insight, and making discoveries through teacher research. "Teachers Are Researchers" will guide the way.

Far from the madding crowd (PE1128 .O2P94 1994 v.4 no.1)
Synopsis
Hardy's first masterpiece, this 1874 novel received wide acclaim upon publication and remains among the author's best-loved works. The tale of a passionate, independent woman and her three suitors, it explores Hardy's trademark themes: thwarted love, the inevitability of fate, and the encroachment of industrial society on rural life.
Hardy's rustic tale of Bathsheba Everdean and her three suitors comes to life through Thorne's expert narrative performance. Hardy's works often change pace and character quickly, a point which Thorne uses advantageously to wind us through this insightful novel. Thorne's interpretation of the text removes the distance which so often exists between Victorian literature and the modern reader. Thorne's performance skills transcend age and gender. The listener can envision each of the workers as they talk and sing in the pub, and Thorne's choice of voices for the four main characters gives added depth and presence.

The woman in white (PE1128 .O2P94 1993 v.4 no.4)
Synopsis
Who was the woman in white and what was her secret?
Was she an escaped mad woman, a displaced heir, or even an unearthly apparition?
This is the mystery that Marian Halcombe and Walter Hartright must solve if they have any hopes of saving their dear friend Laura Fairlie from the dark forces that wish to lay claim to her estate and her life.
Masterfully filled with all of the elements of the classic Victorian thriller--seemingly unexplained apparitions, exotic dangers, a larger than life villain to rival Doyle’s Moriarty, secret ancestries, and the looming threat of an asylum next door--The Woman in White is a classic novel of sensation that is as much of a page-turner today as it was when it was first published close to a century and half ago.
Publishers Weekly
Playwright and audio dramatist Beverley Cooper has done a masterful job in adapting Collins's classic Victorian suspense novel to the audio medium. Within the framing story of a courtroom setting, each character stands up to describe the events that he or she has witnessed; the words of testimony then fade into a flashback scene, so the listener can experience the story as it unfolds. The actors are simply marvelous, particularly Douglas Campbell as the oily, sinister Count Fosco and Cedric Smith as Lord Percival Glyde, the manipulative gold digger with secrets to hide. Suzanne Hoffman sounds appropriately sweet and lovely as Laura, the damsel in distress, and Gina Wilkinson gives a nice contrasting performance as her practical, intelligent and down-to-earth sister, Marian. The story is well paced and suspenseful, while background music adds a subtly ominous atmosphere without distracting from the tale. Likewise, the production uses just the right amount of sound effects. With its colorful characters and air of mystery, this superb dramatization truly does the tale justice. (Dec.)

Dracula (PE1128 .O2P94 1994 v.5 no.1)
Synopsis
The punctured throat, the coffin lid slowly opening, the unholy shriek as the stake pierces the heart—these are just a few of the chilling images Bram Stoker unleashed upon the world with his 1897 masterpiece, Dracula. Inspired by the folk legend of nosferatu, the undead, Stoker created a timeless tale of gothic horror and romance that has enthralled and terrified readers ever since.
A true masterwork of storytelling, Dracula has transcended generation, language, and culture to become one of the most popular novels ever written. It is a quintessential tale of suspense and horror, boasting one of the most terrifying characters ever born in literature: Count Dracula, a tragic, night-dwelling specter who feeds upon the blood of the living, and whose diabolical passions prey upon the innocent, the helpless, and the beautiful. But Dracula also stands as a bleak allegorical saga of an eternally cursed being whose nocturnal atrocities reflect the dark underside of the supremely moralistic age in which it was originally written — and the corrupt desires that continue to plague the modern human condition.
Annotation
The Dracula mythology has inspired a vast subculture, but the story has never been better told than by Stoker.

Pride and Prejudice (PE1128 .O2P94 1992 v.5 no.2)
Synopsis
In a remote Hertfordshire village, far off the good coach roads of George III's England, a country squire of no great means must marry off his five vivacious daughters. At the heart of this all-consuming enterprise are his headstrong second daughter Elizabeth Bennet and her aristocratic suitor Fitzwilliam Darcy—two lovers whose pride must be humbled and prejudice dissolved before the novel can come to its splendid conclusion.
A tour de force of wit and sparkling dialogue, Pride and Prejudice is also a sumptuously detailed picture of contemporary society, which, in its exploration of manner and motives, has a great deal to say about the society of today. Austen's best-loved novel is a memorable story about the power of reason, and above all about the strange dynamics of human relationships and emotions.
The handsome volumes in The Collectors Library present great works of world literature in a handy hardback format. Printed on high-quality paper and bound in real cloth, each complete and unabridged volume has a specially commissioned afterword, brief biography of the author and a further-reading list. This easily accessible series offers readers the perfect opportunity to discover, or rediscover, some of the world's most endearing literary works.
The volumes in The Collector's Library are sumptuously produced, enduring editions to own, to collect and to treasure.
Annotation
At the turn of eighteenth-century England, spirited Elizabeth Bennet copes with the suit of the snobbish Mr. Darcy while trying to sort out the romantic entanglements of two of her sisters, sweet and beautiful Jane and scatterbrained Lydia.

School Library Journal
Gr 8 Up-British actor Martin Shaw reads this shortened version of the classic Emily Bronte novel. His easily-understood accent is appropriate and helps to set the mood. Shaw reads at a very steady pace, pausing effectively for emphasis or when his character might be thinking. Usually calm and gentle, his voice can resonate with anger or other emotion when necessary. There is some differentiation in pitch to emphasize male vs. female speech, but it is not exaggerated or overdone. The abridgement retains Bronte's words linking speech or narration sometimes from one page to another. It provides students with an easier way to become familiar with the story and get a feel for her style. Teachers could use this presentation to introduce the novel or to entice students to read it on their own.-Claudia Moore, W.T.

Ramona and Her Mother (PZ7 .C58T44 2002)
Synopsis
Beverly Cleary has given books to each member of the Quimby household except Mrs. Quimby. Now she gets her turn at last in a story that hits the high and low points of a working mother's life as seen from Ramona's seven-and-a-half-year-old viewpoint.
Inevitably domestic tensions, not without their amusing side, occasionally arise. Mr. and Mrs. Quimby sometimes forget who is to do what, as when the Crock-Pot is not plugged in and dinner remains uncooked. Beezus acquires a ludicrous teased hairdo at the student body shop while Ramona gets a becoming pixie haircut. Ramona, who feels unloved, takes to twitching her nose like a rabbit in a cozy picture book until her teacher becomes concerned that something is making her nervous.
Yet Ramona is wrong. She is loved, and readers will rejoice with her when she discovers the wonderful truth. Few writers today are as skilled as Mrs. Cleary at showing families in the round, and here she is at the peak of her powers.
Children's Literature
Poor Ramona! Not quite eight, but half past seven, this enthusiastic dynamo is feeling one powerful emotion: unloved. Her older sister, Beezus, seems to do everything right--at least as far as Ramona's mom is concerned. So Ramona gloats just a bit when Beezus causes a stink about not being allowed to visit a professional hair stylist, instead of having her hair cut at home. When Ramona's mom goes back to work, and her dad hates his new job, other frictions visit on the Quimby household, making both girls worry that their parents are headed for divorce. Cleary keeps this book hopping, jumping easily from scenario to scenario. Its success, as in Cleary's other Ramona books, is in pulling our heartstrings and making us laugh. Readers will hoot as Ramona squirts every last drop from a new toothpaste tube--just because she always wanted to. We also see her nearly barf in the backseat of the car, and dye herself and her friend Howie bright blue. But it is when Ramona threatens to run away and her mother helps her pack, that we root hard for little "Nobody likes me!" Ramona. Of course, Mrs. Quimby has a trick up her sleeve: "You tricked me!" cries Ramona. "You made the suitcase too heavy on purpose. You don't want me to run away!" Of course not, says her mother: "I couldn't get along without my Ramona." Neither, I suspect can readers.

Goldilocks and the three bears (PZ7 .H89D99 1993)
Review
The fourth title in the publisher's Bedtime Classics Library, a series of reproductions of classic children's editions, Goldilocks & the 7-bree Bears is charming. The four-color illustrations are examples of children's book art from the 1920s - warm, lively plates figuring the traditional tale of a mischievous young girl upsetting a bear family's household. Well-reproduced on creamy, coated stock, the 24 plates depict the interiors of the bears' house whose gaily patterned wallpapers, curtains, bedspreads, and upholstery instill an overall effect of benign, if eccentric, domesticity. The Great Big Bear's floral house slippers are an extreme fashion statement when worn with his checkered vest, but this is the extent of the menace he invokes, and indeed the tone of both text and illustrations is calm and delightful throughout.It is unfortunate that the cover art is so vastly inferior to the plates that decorate the text. It is impossible to see this as the work of the same artist. While it may not be important to every parent, with the current fastidious interest in children's book arts and their antecedents, it is bibliographically disturbing not to be told anything of the original edition of which this is a facsimile. Who is the artist? Who is the author? When was the book published? The vague "famous old edition" of the publisher's blurb is not sufficient. The care taken to reproduce the figures and the text is obvious. If the purpose in bringing out this book is to allow new readers to experience the beauties of the original edition, the publisher is urged to identify the sources used.The text is good on the repetitions that form the story's structure. There is occasional lilt in the descriptions which show the hand of a competent craftsman: "She hopped out of bed and in a second was out through the open window, never stopping to wonder if the fall had hurt her." -- From Independent Publisher --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
