Abstract	This paper explores the idea that writing and reading, the creation and interpretation of text, provide a model for the study of teacher education and research. It examines the development of one teacher educator who creates a community of third- and first-person voices through the re-examination of one of his published papers. Reflective writing and dialoguing with others are seen as helping individuals become more aware of their life histories and the influences that have shaped their thinking. Self-reflexive and reflective writing complements one's published, formal writing to produce a series of both academic and personal voices that go beyond existing levels of development. Reflective writing strategies are felt to serve the educational function of transformation of perspective. Gaining perspective on self and becoming aware of the possibilities that are within and without bring individuals closer to melding their authentic voices. In this way, it is proposed that teacher education can be refigured as inquiry through self-research. (Contains 25 references.) (JDD)
