Recenzje

«Dr. Miller Marsh offers an exciting exploration of the experiences of two beginning early childhood teachers. She guides us through the storied landscapes of teacher education of Ms. Nicholi and Ms. Gonzales and then takes readers to the teachers' school landscapes. The teachers' storied lives are shaped on, and by, storied landscapes - landscapes which Dr. Miller Marsh helps us understand as competing discourses and ideologies. This richly nuanced text draws readers in to understand the complex ways teachers' identities shape and are shaped by the competing discourses of human relations, multicultural education, child-centeredness and behaviorism. As a teacher educator, I have already made Dr. Miller Marsh's work compulsory reading for teachers.» (D. Jean Clandinin, Professor and Director of the Centre for Research for Teacher Education and Development, University of Alberta, Canada)
