Abstract: A case study methodology revealed ways that four elementary teachers, who were graduates of the same teacher education program and employed in the same school system in which they had studied as elementary and high school students, negotiated their reading and language arts instructional decisions during their first two years of teaching. The investigation explored orientations toward the teaching of reading and factors they determined as those impacting their instruction. Information was synthesized from the following sources: (a) participants' biographical data, (b) inventories and surveys, (c) investigator's observations of participants' teaching and subsequent field notes, (d) structured and unstructured interviews, (e) reflective webs, and (f) reflective journals and lesson plans.
