University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign: 7th International Congress of Qualitative Inquiry, 19-21 May 2011.http://hdl.handle.net/10092/5246I want to suggest that ‘thinking like an ethnographer’ in our classrooms opens us to new ways of seeing our students and to understanding teaching and learning. I offer some suggestions/imaginings about what this might mean in my own and others’ classrooms. I will also draw on a two-year research project looking at narrative assessment to show how teaching participant observation can broaden teachers’ understandings of classrooms as sites where identities are negotiated and re-negotiated through everyday classroom practices.enConference Contributions - OtherField of Research::13 - Education::1303 - Specialist Studies in Education::130309 - Learning SciencesFields of Research::39 - Education::3901 - Curriculum and pedagogy::390102 - Curriculum and pedagogy theory and development
