Recenzii

"Marilyn Cochran-Smith is one of the strongest voices in teacher education today. By weighing the evidence, challenging orthodoxy, and analyzing the policies, she has given teacher education a firm footing in the scholarly canon. Her leadership is vital to the field’s viability."
"During her tenure as editor of the Journal of Teacher Education, Marilyn Cochran-Smith used her editorials to provoke our thinking anew about so many important education research issues, ranging from pedagogy to politics. It is to her credit, and our good fortune, that we get to revisit her perspective through this collection of her work."
"Marilyn Cochran-Smith’s keen insights about the politics and substance of teacher education reform focus like a laser on the central issues of educational equity and quality in our time. Anyone who wants to understand what’s happening to teaching in this country and what’s at stake should read this book."
"Relevant to teachers, policymakers, school board members, and anyone who cares about our schools and their public purpose. . . A book of Marilyn Cochran-Smith’s thirty thoughtful editorials deserves attention both within and beyond the professional teacher education community."
