Christine Woodcock, Ph.D.

publications

As may be seen by the titles and nature of Woodcock’s published papers, Christine is committed to writing research that is aimed at the professional development of teachers. Furthermore, she is devoted to writing pieces that are truly accessible and useful to an audience of teachers. A delicate balance of theory and practice is needed. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for academic journals to be laden with specialized jargon, or highly theoretical articles which make no connections to everyday practice. Powerful, tangible connections between theory and practice are sorely needed. As a former classroom teacher, and now as a professor, Christine is dedicated to creating effective practice-theory bridges.
