Title: "Just One Story": Reading and Writing about Teaching: A Response to James C. Walker's Review of "Understanding Teaching"
Abstract: I thank James Walker for his thoughtful reading of my book Understanding Teaching, although I do not agree with everything he has to say about it. It was reassuring to find that he was engaged by the stories Johanna and I told about her life and work, and to find that he thought that the stories make it perfectly clear why no proposals for change that ignore the world ofJohanna, or any other teacher, are likely to succeed. These are the two goals I hoped to achieve in writing the book. Walker would have preferred me to reach these goals by making different use of my data, or by writing within a different epistemological framework. He would probably have preferred me to write a book on the topic he is interested in, self-determination.
