But probably more importantly, I saw my own practice in a new my own practice in a new light as I read these engaging accounts of the work of other teachers. They ring true and honest to what schooling is about and how and why good teachers never give up-and why they love their work."" """"Typical professional development fare will rarely take us close to the particulars of our own practice....As I read through these chapters, finally, it's that sense of thoughtful becoming, that possibility of action in the midst of uncertainty that, at the end of the day, is the promise of this book."""
