Rendering their experiences as short stories from the field of teacher education brings a dimension of social biography to scholarship.\u003cbr\u003e\nAs creative nonfiction, these stories act as catalysts to understand teacher culture from first-person accounts. Their stories may be described as openings: Ruth’s unfolding; Ann’s unexpectedness; and Nathalie’s uncertainty. Such narratives are exemplars of arts research, extending the purpose, intent, outcomes and dissemination of research by making scholarly study a more intimate and personal experience through the lives of student-teachers.\u003cbr\u003e\nEntering research practices with a perspective that stories are effective teaching tools that represent cultural artefacts, these stories help make sense of practices in public schools and in postsecondary teacher training, and help students, teachers and teacher educators to better understand the operations of the educational system.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eUnfolding the Unexpectedness of Uncertainty\u003c\/i\u003e can be used as case studies for undergraduate and graduate students and academic researchers in fields of study involving creative nonfiction and life writing, such as Education, Creative Writing, English, Women’s Studies, Social and Cultural Geography, Sociology and Integrated Studies.\u003cbr\u003e\nSee an interview with Dr Anita Sinner regarding UNFOLDING THE UNEXPECTEDNESS OF UNCERTAINTY: \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/article\/dr-anita-sinner-contributes-her-latest-book-to-the-social-fictions-series\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ewww.examiner.com\/article\/dr-anita-sinner-contributes-her-latest-book-to-the-social-fictions-series\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ci\u003eNominations:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOutstanding Publication Award 2014\u003c\/b\u003e Sponsored by the \u003ci\u003eNarrative and Research SIG\u003c\/i\u003e of the American Educational Research Association (AERA)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eSocial Fictions\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eSeries Editorial Advisory Board\u003c\/b\u003e: Carl Bagley, University of Durham, UK; Anna Banks, University of Idaho, USA; Carolyn Ellis, University of South Florida, USA; Rita Irwin, University of British Columbia, Canada; J.
