This long-overdue anthology ranges from Yetta Goodman's first article, about her own daughter's early spelling, to her most recent, a previously unpublished piece about turn-of-the-century educator Lucy Sprague Mitchell and the lives of female educators in general. Goodman is widely known throughout North America for her work as a writer, researcher, teacher, and speaker, and her career and writing have reflected - indeed often spearheaded - the concerns of holistic educators for decades. Miscue analysis, print awareness, kidwatching, whole language: Yetta Goodman's name leaps to mind in connection with all of these topics, and they are all represented here.

Exploring Values Through Multimedia, Literature and Literacy Events was written by teachers and educational researchers for classrooms and schools interested in developing learning communities that develop critical and compassionate future citizens. Through the use of specific multimedia, literature and literacy events, this book presents numerous ways for classroom teachers and schools to promote respectful, responsible, caring, and sharing students in a democratic society. Beginning with Plato’s message that we cannot let the formation of good citizens to chance, Exploring Values Through Multimedia, Literature and Literacy Events takes the reader through a brief history of character education and moral development and a summary of multimedia’s impact on our lives. The chapters that follow are devoted to teacher tested classroom and school programs, activities, and resources for the understanding of diverse human perspectives. Included in several chapters are the unique ways classes might analyze how and why information is presented in the media. Due to the constant media bombardment on our lives, the goal if this volume is to support our students as they discern the meanings of truth and justice.
