Title
Grassroots Inquiry: Reconsidering the Location of Innovation.
Abstract
The article discusses a grassroots approach to innovation in literacy education, in which change comes from teachers themselves. Examples of innovations such as the involvement of Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o in Kenya in the 1960s to introduce African literature into the nation's schools, the weekly meetings of the Philadelphia Teachers Learning Cooperative (PTLC) to analyze student data, and the efforts of Gerald and María Paula in building a social-justice-oriented community center, are examined.
