  In Roundtable Session: Researchers and Teachers Attending to the Lives of Children

Abstract

This study explores the efforts of the three junior high teachers who were voluntarily teamed in a middle level context as they attempted to collaborate around issues of educational equity with ninth grade honors students over the course of one and half school years. The aspects of equity that these teachers attended to included policy as well as curriculum. The purpose of this study was to narratively explore our collaborative efforts to create a more inclusive environment for students in an honors interdisciplinary team.
