Kenneth Tobin is Presidential Professor in The Graduate Center at The City University of New York. Rowhea Elmesky is associate professor at Washington University. Gale Seiler is associate professor at the University of Maryland, Baltimore.
Tobin (NSF Distinguished Teaching Scholar) and colleagues have
created lively and personable accounts of how researchers,
teachers, and students can work together to identify patterns and
contradictions through cogenerative dialogue. This process produces
collective agreements intended to improve the urban
science-learning environment. These fresh insights offer hope and
the notion that successful teaching revolves around positive
emotional energy. Highly recommended.
