Publication Description
The hidden curriculum within public schools has been connected to values, dispositions, and social and behavioral expectations that are rewarded and expected to be learned and adopted by students (Jackson, 1968). Additional work on the hidden curriculum has directly connected the expectations to maintaining race, class, and gender stratification within society (Apple, 1982; Anyon, 1980). Considerable work has focused upon the hidden curriculum within public K−12 schools; yet, little work has looked at the hidden curriculum within graduate education programs. What are the values, dispositions, and social and behavioral expectations of graduate school and the consequences of those expectations? What can graduate students, particularly those with marginalized cultural capital (Bourdieu, 1977), do to understand, negotiate, and resist the hidden curriculum of graduate school?

Publication Description
Action research is often included in teacher education programs to improve teacher reflection and practice; however, there is little indication of its impact on students. In this article, the authors examine action research conducted by 114 experienced teachers enrolled in a masters of education program. The teachers came from a range of disciplines and grade levels. Based on their investigation, the authors determined that action research provided a vehicle for teachers to (a) establish more personal relationships with students, (b) develop a better understanding of students as learners, and (c) give students a voice in the classroom.
