      abstract = {"Stories matter. Stories speak about complex aspects of  our lives that intuitively we know are important but for  which the language of rational discourse is often  inadequate. Stories draw on archetypal structures and  evocative language in ways that create affect: they  penetrate, provoke, and disturb. This is a book of nine  stories about teachers and students. A young woman sits in  her first teacher-education lecture and wonders what kind  of a tribe she is joining. A preservice teacher clashes  with his mentor teacher on a practicum. A teacher and  students inhabit an online space with unpredictable  consequences. Sally discovers the Universarium. Joseph  writes a story that undoes his therapist. Sylvia struggles  to free herself from an oppressive discourse about the  nature of teaching. Two siblings support and console each  other through their complex inductions into classroom  lifeworlds. A secondary student goes missing and police,  the media and his teachers wonder why. A teacher-education  academic wrestles with elusive ideas in order to prepare a  lecture that he hopes will make a more-than-passing impact.  There is no other book like Imagined Worlds and Classroom  Realities. It not only tells nine gripping stories, but  also positions these stories as part of a growing  scholarship about story-telling. It includes, as well,  practical ways of using the stories in teacher education  and professional development. Steve Shann is a teacher and  writer with over forty years experience in primary,  secondary and tertiary classrooms. "},
