Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

It asks those who are thinking of teaching to ask questions, to ponder their decision, and to pursue the information they need to make a reasoned choice. There is nothing like it in the professional literature, which makes it all the more valuable." --Pat Walsey, senior researcher for change, Coalition of Essential Schools
