CWP at CATE 2007
"I
knew that the knowledge successful teachers had gained through their
experience and practive in the classroom was not tapped, sought after,
shared or for the most part, even known about. I knew also that if
there was ever going to be reform in American education, it was going
to take place in the nation's classrooms. And because teachers -
and no one else - were in those classrooms, I knew that for the reform
to succeed, teachers had to be at the center. It became a burning
issue
with me that teachers were not seen as the key players in reform
or as true experts on what went on in their classrooms."

her first book, La Linea. Ann's students told and wrote
the stories of their journey to the Salinas area to reunite with
their parents
