lyse Eidman-Aadahl is co-director of the National Writing Project, where she manages national programs as well as several national/international action research projects. Her research interests include the design and experience of professional learning communities; practitioner inquiry in the U.S. and abroad; and the relationship between practitioner knowledge, policy work, and public engagement. A recipient of the Hollis Caswell Award for Curriculum Studies, her publications include studies of literacy learning in the context of state policy initiatives and school reform, as well as research into how teachers of diverse backgrounds reason together about literacy, equity, and agency. She is now pursuing those questions with a network of teacher-researchers in the newly democratic republic of Mongolia. In addition to her teaching, she is an adviser to the National Assessment of Educational Progress in Writing, the Elementary Science Integration Program, and several educational nonprofits. Her publications include "Got Some Time, Got a Place, Got the Word: Collaborating for Literacy Learning and Youth Development," in School's Out! Bridging Out-of-School Literacies with Classroom Practice(ed. G. Hull et al., 2002).
