Composing a Culture: Inside a Summer Writing Program with High School Teachers

by Bonnie S. Sunstein

A summer writing program for teachers lasts only a few weeks, but it is an important event, sometimes a turning point in a teacher's career. In Composing a Culture, Sunstein "reads" one program for teachers and writes portraits of three high school teachers who attend: Therese Deni, Joyce Choate, and Dorothy Spofford. Between these chapters, Sunstein also creates interests--shorter landscapes of other participants and events.
