Heavy work : living with children in schools

This thesis is a series of meditations, stories and poetry focusing on living in
classrooms with children, and on the meaning and place of education and schools in
our lives. This writing is the emergent result of a commitment to the seeking of a
generous language to understand and describe the work of teachers in schools, to the
hope for human(e) and compassionate spaces for children to spend their days, to
living with openness and creativity, to the having of challenging and wonderful
conversations about life with children, and to the freedom to raise questions about the
ways children and teachers (might) live together in schools. This writing is a story
emerging at the point of intersection between what we might learn from children if we
listen to them and remember them, and reflections on readings in ethics, education
and literature. / Education, Faculty of / Language and Literacy Education (LLED), Department of / Graduate
