NextGeners
NextGeners bring vibrant life experiences, risk taking, and creativity into the classroom. They demand to be included in the 'why' and 'how' of learning. Teachers bring a love of learning, empathy, content and theoretical perspective that serves as a setting for how the classroom should operate. The author argues that NextGeners understand personalized viewpoints but often miss that teaching and learning are grounded in a process of historical interactions. Second, NextGeners are social beings living in and defined by social media and the web. We must invite both to share how to construct shared understanding and build a learning community that makes sense in our emerging paradigm.

Engaging Graduate Students throughout the Research Writing Process
The purpose of this article is to encourage graduate students and committee members to examine how they approach research writing, and whether or not their approach propels or hinders graduate candidates from moving forward in their research. We reflect on our experiences as PhD candidates and a graduate research committee chair in order to spark a discussion about the value of the research writing process and how that process should incorporate best practices in order to allow graduate candidates to explore questions in their field without having to fear perfection or judgment along the way. We explore themes that were created after collecting and analyzing data on a professional songwriter’s process and how those themes are applicable to the completion of graduate-level research. After reflecting on the research and the process of writing up research, we created five pointers that can be applied to graduate research writing (A) low-stakes writing is an integral part of the process, (B) trust is vital, (C) co-writes/collaborative creativity and conversation drive the process forward, (D) take small risks, and (E) know the genre. Writing is possibly the single most important skill a graduate candidate will have to develop and refine during his/her program. Taking highly effective writing strategies and applying them to graduate level programs could prove to be beneficial to all parties involved.

Shifting Strands
In this the sixth book of a series of exploratory and cautionary tales, Griffith revisits the sites of reflective knowledge and practical experiences that have been our historical presuppositions, and which are now in the process of flux and change. As in his previous books, historical discourse, what we know and can know about the past, is used as the baseline for understanding.

Catching Up With the Self Through Education
The purpose of this paper is to think about the purpose of school and what it means to be an educated person. It is based on a narrative inquiry conducted with three participants in their 70s in order to understand what role educational experiences have played throughout their lives. The findings point to how curriculum can be used as a medium through which people meet as they design their dispositions to self, Other, and world, which is one aspect of the purpose of school. Further, the findings show that an educated person is one who thinks of him/herself as a creator of the world rather than a participant.
