Recenzje

"....speaks directly to preservice, beginning, and experienced teachers, to supervisors of student teachers, university professors, and reading specialists."
—Journal of Reading Education

"This volume presents stories...short narratives of actual teaching problems selected because they have a high probability of relevance for beginning teachers. In response to the stories, teacher educators and experienced teachers comment. The result is a useful blend of theory and practice... Both the stories and the responses are convincingly real. Readers will find themselves arguing with some of the writers and generating their own solutions to the problems described so vividly. As I read the stories, I thought again and again how hard it is to teach young students who are compelled to attend classes and how enormously hard it is to teach well in certain circumstances... This practical, inspiring book will help."
—Nel Noddings
