Documenting, Discovering, and Developing Our Instruction with Anglea Stockman | EP 28

How often is our classroom teachers' potential power as researchers neglected? Before them is a wealth of information about teaching and learning.

Fortunately, I got to talk with Angela Stockman about her book, The Writing Teacher’s Guide to Pedagogical Documentation. Join us as we discuss how the process of thoughtful documentation can lead to learning transformation for students and teachers alike. This is The LP.
