W. Keith Duffy. "Imperfection: The Will-to-Control and the Struggle of Letting Go."
As I found myself beginning to appropriate my students' writing more and more, I wondered if this was evidence of a spiritual imbalance—an unwillingness to acknowledge my own imperfection as a teacher and human being.
Randall Popken. "Felt Sensing of Speech Acts in Written Genre Acquisition."
This paper theorizes about the experiential dimension of acquiring rhetorical genres—specifically the way developing writers rely on felt sensing when they encounter the "core" of genres: illocutionary speech acts.
Carolina Mancuso. "Teacher Growing Pains."
Reflecting on a teacher education course which incorporated experiential learning in an exploratory pedagogy, the author examines how the relationship between teachers and students can affect both personal and professional lives, particularly in periods of individual transition.
Dennis Young. "A Poetics of Student Writing."
Focusing on student reflective essays about learning writing, I rely on depth psychology and hermeneutics to illustrate the image-making, poetic dimension of student work.
Dale Jacobs. "Being There: Revising the Discourse of Emotion and Teaching."
This essay explores the fine line that exists between teacher engagement and teacher burnout and suggests strategies for teachers and mentors of teachers to help negotiate this line.
Marilyn Middendorf. "Discredited Metaphors of Mind Limit Our Vision."
Teachers will be intrigued by recent discoveries in "the brain sciences" and the new metaphors of consciousness they suggest.
Lorie Heggie. "Flow, Centering, and the Classroom: Wisdom from an Ancient Friend."
Understanding "flow" and drawing on the metaphor of the dialectic that occurs between horse and rider can guide us to create a centered classroom.
