The Southwest Educational Developmental Laboratory identified, located, and annotated references to inform the work of the Promoting Instructional Coherence Project, which investigates problems teachers face in their efforts to make their practice more coherent or meaningful for students. The references included in this annotated bibliography are those that researchers found particularly insightful and useful in helping them think about their research. This bibliography is categorized according to: approaches to educational research; learning theory and implications for classroom practice; school reform; the change process; teacher learning; and instructional practice (curriculum, instruction, and assessment). A complete alphabetical listing of the references is included in the final section, since some of the references could have been placed in more than one category. (SM)
