Biography

Patricia A. Gross

"...offers a single, coherent point of view....Rather than focusing on procedures or abstract models, she provides vivid, contextualized accounts of how teachers and students in two classrooms redefined their traditional roles, collaborating to plan, enact, and assess learning experiences....A realistic and comprehensive account of how students and teachers can bridge the gap between their desires for learning and the systematic restraints of schooling....A welcome addition to the preprofessional and professional literature."
—CHOICE

"Patricia Gross offers us a practical quide to the concept of joint curriculum design and educational reform. Her book is an excellent introduction to both self-directed learning and the literature base that supports it."
