One of the central components of my pedagogy with students of education is to encourage the production of scholarly work that can be consumed by a public outside the classroom. Over the years, students -- mostly practicing teachers and/or school administrators -- have published many books and articles with me, and have presented at many conferences.
In Fall 2017, students in the doctoral elective EDL 783: Curriculum Politics and Policy (Fall 2016) published an edited volumes of curriculum policy probes with Sentia Publishing (Austin, TX) entitled: Exploring New Possibilities in Curriculum Policy.
In early 2016, students in our doctoral seminar EDL 765 produced the third of six volumes in the series "Curriculum Windows." Check out the offering at the book page here.
In Summer 2015, 15 masters and doctoral students at Miami University produced a "flashbook" (from idea to published work in 100 days or less) in a course on the standardization of the curriculum. The book is entitled, "Was Someone Mean to You Today?" Take a look at the reviews and comments coming in that are posted on the home page.
Each semester, EDL 318: Teacher Leadership course hosts a student led conference on Curriculum and Teacher Leadership. All day in the Shriver Center students present their collaborative curriculum projects in a conference format. Dr. Morna McDermott of Towson University gave the keynote address at the November 2015 Conference. Morna is one of the founders of United Opt Out National. Her keynote talk for the conference was entitled, "Teaching as Dangerous Style." Colleague and EDL Chair Kathleen Knight Abowitz gave the keynote address in May of 2016. Crystal Laura followed with her keynote in December 2016, and Teacher Academy Instructors and EDL Doctoral Students Jody Googins and Mike Neri spoke at the conference at 130pm on Monday May 1, 2017, at Miami's Shriver Center.
In the summer term (2012) members of my Curriculum seminar made up of masters and doctoral students produced "research essays" on hot topics in curriculum studies. Take a look at a sampling of student work below. These scholars explore current hot topics in curriculum, and the quality of their work suggests, as Dewey and Eisner (The Educational Imagination, 1979, 1984, 1994, 2004) have in the past, that teachers are "an almost unworked mine" of educational knowledge. The more we listen to teachers, and give them opportunities to surface and level the truths of educational matters at hand that have to do with students, schools, learning, curriculum, knowledge, democracy, and the promise of public education, the more we can make our way forward in terms of policy and practice.

Check out the following research essays from educator/scholars on hot topics in Curriculum. All of these papers were written for public consumption in EDL 639: Curriculum Theory and Development, Summer 2012 (as you peruse the pieces below, be sure to hit the "back" button in your browser so that you return to this page).
