Bess has worked to develop critical literacy pedagogies that prepare students to build a more just, democratic, and sustainable future. Her current activies are devoted to transforming repressive literacy policies, reprofessionalizing teaching, and returning joy to classrooms.

Nancy Jordan is a coauthor of ReReading Fluency (2007). An independent educational consultant, researcher, and writer, as well as a twenty-six year teaching veteran, she focuses on the teaching and learning of written discourse with an emphasis on creating classrooms that respond to the cultural and linguistic needs of each child. She has recently explored how unexamined practice, mandated curriculum, and standardized tests create social and educational inequality.

Nancy Rankie Shelton is a coauthor of ReReading Fluency (2007). She is Assistant Professor of education at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. Nancy taught ten years in Florida schools, and her interest in Rereading Fluency stems from her struggle to provide meaningful reading and writing instruction amidst standardization and accountability policies. She also studies the writing process approach to teaching and the affects of mandated curriculum on elementary schools.
