About The Author

Gisele A. Waters
Auburn University

Working in Texas as a public school teacher for six years in bilingual/ESL education classrooms, and special education resource significantly influenced my critical analysis of the educational process. During that time, I held delegate positions of leadership on district and campus advisory teams, sharing the responsibility in the development and implementation of district and campus level improvement plans. The obstacles encountered to implement research based best practices carefully positioned my observations and questions about teaching and learning. Ultimately, my heart lies with teachers and children and the institutional pressures that affect them. Today my teaching at the undergraduate level reflects an instructional approach that frames my passions for issues of social justice, democracy, power, voice, and equity in schools and schooling. My methodological interests lie in the cultivation of a critical social science, a science intended to empower those involved to change as well as to understand their world.
