"Enables the instructor to cover a wide range of issues in a coherent, integrated fashion, while being an interesting read for the student. This text is timely and addresses the questions most often posed by preservice teachers."—Dennis N. BanksState University of New York, College at Oneonta"This book is NOT like a textbook, which is a definite plus. There is a narrative quality that makes it very accessible....There are ambiguities within cases and layers of complexity to be explored which are very true to real life....The impossibility of arriving at 'right' answers in all situations is one of the strongest points students carry away....What the cases do is raise questions, which is exactly what they should be doing. This is real classroom life, and for students who [do not have access] to experiences in the classroom within a particular course context, this is a very good second best."—Kate CruikshankIndiana University
