Reviews
Natalia Collings's book offers a rare collection of authentic case studies, each created by different teachers and each portraying vastly different teaching and learning experiences. These rich case studies offer more than brief snapshots of a classroom, as we see in the more common video case examples. Instead, these cases include histories of the learner and the teaching environment for an in-depth look that leaves more room for analysis. Along with the case studies, the book includes brief summaries of learning theories, allowing it be used as a stand-alone text or as a supplement to a more traditional textbook. However it is used, this book will certainly enhance the learning of both pre- and in-service teachers in a variety of education courses. -Shane Cavanaugh, Professor, Department of Teacher Education and Professional Development, Central Michigan University It is difficult for novice teachers to `know everything' as they begin student teaching or finally take on their first full-time classrooms. The experiences of others can be great and rewarding as teachers share with teachers. Natalia Collings's book is a reminder that teachers, no matter how inexperienced or experienced, must share their understandings of the profession with others. This book would also be useful in any number of education courses that stress class management, student struggles, engagement, cognitive development, and a host of other situations encountered in nurturing the needs of students. -Lynn F. Laskowsky, high school English and U.S. history teacher of 37 years and university student teacher seminar leader and coordinator of 15 years
