PRAISE FOR THE FIRST EDITION:
"In Pose, Wobble, Flow, Garcia and O'Donnell-Allen remind all of us that teaching is not about following directions: it's about listening to our students and paying attention to the social forces that shape their lives; about learning how to navigate department, school, district, and federal rules to benefit our students so we can keep a job while we continue to honor our core beliefs about education." - Linda Christensen, director, Oregon Writing Project, Lewis & Clark College
"Antero Garcia and Cindy O'Donnell-Allen have written a book about teaching that I've been hoping someone would write. They deftly provide a clear and insightful framework from which any thoughtful teacher can build a vital practice, while also inserting a wealth of examples to ground the framework in working classrooms. It's a must-have for preservice and inservice teachers who care about their teaching." - Bob Fecho, professor and department head, University of Georgia
"It may be a funny name for a book on literacy, but Pose, Wobble, Flow is serious when it comes to supporting teachers to become more aware, culturally proactive, and powerful in their practice. As someone who struggles with yoga—wobbling in the midst of poses, finding flow when I'm really lucky--I love the metaphor, as well as the wise advice, solid theory, and grounded practical examples from their own and others' classrooms described by authors Antero Garcia and Cindy O'Donnell-Allen. This beautiful book will educate, challenge, and inspire educators determined to improve their teaching." - Sonia Nieto, professor emerita, Language, Literacy, and Culture, College of Education, University of Massachusetts, Amherst
