A teacher reflects on her teaching practice, bringing literacy scholarship into the arena of Jewish education.

In The Second Conversation, university professor Ziva R. Hassenfeld returns to the middle school classroom to study her own seventh grade Bible class. The book explores dilemmas of practice she encountered around interpretive authority in the classroom. She analyzes the questions that came up in her teaching within the context of the most influential religious education scholarship, literacy scholarship, sociocultural theory and literary theory. She highlights the importance of two conversations about interpretive rules within the classroom, the first about the text's meaning, and the second about competing conventions for determining its meaning. Instructors of any type of literature will benefit from Hassenfeld's study, which offers rich ideas about when and how teachers enforce a classroom's way of reading or follow a student's line of inquiry toward more flexible interpretation.

<p>Teaching is an essential skill in becoming a faculty member in any institution of higher education.

It examines the key issues that graduate students face as they learn to teach effectively when in fact they are still learning and being taught. <br /> <br />Featuring contributions from over thirty graduate students from a variety of disciplines at Indiana University, <i>Teaching as if Learning Matters</i> allows these students to explore this topic from their own unique perspectives. They reflect on the importance of teaching to them personally and professionally, telling of both successes and struggles as they learn and embrace teaching for the first time in higher education.</p>
