Chapter 9. Collective Reflections
Contributing Authors and Editors

Abstract
In this chapter, the contributing authors and editors share their reflections on their writing process as well as the meaning-making experience they have shared as a group. They also share some practical tips on how readers might organize and maintain a self-organized professional development teacher group for themselves. The deeply personal reflections demonstrate the impact that this book writing process and the TOMATO group community has had on each contributing author and editor.
