CHAPTER 6: Teachers’ and Students’ Voices from the Classroom: Crossover Pedagogy in Action

We want this chapter to be our “theory-into-practice” chapter. Here we will talk much more about the actual experiences of flesh-and-blood human beings in the classroom and reserve our theoretical reflections on these experiences for the following chapter. To this end, we will present a number of short reflections written by Robert’s crossover coteachers (other than Jennifer and Patricia) as well as by students who have been the recipients of this kind of instructional collaboration. We have received permission from all our contributors to publish these reflections. We will begin each reflection with a series of introductions and background information. In the following chapter, we will spell out the crossover-pedagogy implications of these reflections in greater conceptual and practical depth.
