Recenzje

"I recommend this book to all teachers, new and old...the book as a whole is thought provoking and well equipped to fulfill its ultimate aim of stimulating discussion among experienced and aspiring teachers."
—Contemporary Psychology

"This book is well grounded in literature that could be useful to educational scholars, and it would certainly be beneficial reading for prospective, beginning, and veteran teachers."
—Peabody Journal of Education

"Interesting and, at times, provocative. This collection of essays both reaffirms and challenges the ways we think about teaching and teachers."
—Patricia A. Cantor
Plymouth State College

"...an interesting and captivating read!....The teachers interviewed and portrayed offered a wealth of reflection, experience, insight and hope for the future. As a classroom teacher, I was able to make connections with the history of American education with my current practice. I would recommend this book to all educators!"
