To improve and enrich the work that we do with students, we also:
• Read, adapt and apply research strategies in our classrooms.
• Participate in graduate studies—in such areas as literacy development and learning and the content areas.
• Collaborate with colleagues in a variety of ways—in study groups, on planning teams, as coaching partners and in adapting curricula.

The teacher-authors in this issue reflect our understanding that in teaching, one size does not fit all. Rather, our work as teachers always requires of us particular focus and individual attention—to students and families, to schools and communities. In this 50th-anniversary year of Brown v. Board of
Education of Topeka, Kansas, we know that much work remains and we dedicate ourselves to it. You are invited to join us throughout the year at Teacher Center conferences, seminars and our networks’ institutes to learn even more about professional growth possibilities.]]> school_master school_master Wed, 06 Jun 2007 18:13:26 -0400 38 http://ufttc2.com.felicie.intracommunities.org/index.php?showtopic=37 Special Edition 15
Overview: “Working Together: Teaching and Learning in the Urban Classroom” is the theme of Special Edition 2003. In this issue, teacher-authors reflect on a broad range of Teacher Center work as they describe collaboratively developed, creative solutions to multiple educational challenges.

We learn from our authors how standards and curriculum guide collaboration and how collaboration enables teaching that actively engages students with diverse talents, interests and needs—both in the classroom and in the larger community.

As our authors depict the interaction of teachers and students in the course of their work, we see into our large urban system and find that schools and classrooms form learning communities within it. In these, unfolding uniquely for each student and teacher, teaching and learning take place both on a one-by-one basis and for community members together.

The UFT Teacher Center mission is to nurture students’ development, encourage their achievement and foster their creativity. Now more than ever, we celebrate collaboration and cooperation on behalf of all of our children and their futures.

Overview: May 11, the release date of this issue of Special Edition, marks the eight-month anniversary of the tragic events of 9/11. The most
visible symbol of these events is the ongoing work at ground zero, which holds our hearts as we go about our daily lives in New York City. The work is both a reminder of and a kind of living memorial to those we lost. As teachers, despite heavy hearts, we have persevered in our work because we see the future in our children and youth.

In this issue, School Communities at Work, we see and hear how educators are working, within and across curricula, together and with students.
The educator-authors reveal facets of how:
• Using film as a primary text becomes a vehicle for interdisciplinary study.
• Co-teaching in a middle school humanities class enriches learning for students.
• Restructuring professional development in a high school shapes learning communities.
• Reflecting leads teachers to insights and new purpose.
• Examining student work is linked to standards-based planning.
• Engaging in action research transforms inquiry about teaching practice.

We invite you to join us throughout the year at UFT Teacher Center conferences, seminars and network institutes to learn even more about
the rich possibilities for school communities at work.]]> Teacher1 Teacher1 Wed, 06 Jun 2007 17:52:09 -0400 36 http://ufttc2.com.felicie.intracommunities.org/index.php?showtopic=35 Special Edition 13
Overview: In this issue, Curriculum Connections in Action, we see educators and students who are bringing the curriculum alive through the learning links that they are creating. The teacher-authors reveal the benefits to students that result from such efforts as:
• Applying a literacy strategy to teaching and learning mathematics.
• Collaborative team-teaching model classes.
• The partnership of real-world science, technology and schools.
• Educator-student teams in standards-based projects.
• Action research used as a tool by individuals and groups.
