GRADES 9–12


On the Case in the English Language Arts Classroom


Situations for the Teaching of English


Thomas M. McCann, Elizabeth A. Kahn, Sarah Hochstetler, and Dianne Chambers


Foreword by Peter Smagorinsky Being a high school English teacher is both


rewarding and difficult. Although teacher education programs try to be thorough, they can’t prepare preservice teachers for every situation that might arise, such as those related to learners who have suffered significant trauma, handling classroom discussions that may get “too political," and contending with a crushing workload. Four veteran teacher educators offer twenty case narratives as well as a format for discussion, professional resources that can inform decisions, and a guide to constructing new case narratives that can expand the possibilities for developing powerful problem-solving strategies.

COLLEGE English Studies Reimagined


A New Context for Linguistics, Rhetoric and Composition, Creative Writing, Literature, Cultural Studies, and English Education

As much of English studies remains entrenched in nationalist discourses,


McComiskey and the contributors to this volume argue that English studies must shift from a national to a global orientation to remain relevant.

Taylor, Jeffrey J. Williams, and Tonya B. Perry.
