Reviews
The Power of Teacher Talk exemplifies an ethos of love; a respect for the dignity and worth of all students that empowers teachers to seek meaningful interactions during the informal moments that frame their professional setting. Yet, The Power of Teacher Talk does far more express this ethos. Bieler's work expresses a more equity-oriented pedagogy and demonstrates how teachers and teacher preparation programs can take steps to align their actions in ways that value students and their lived experiences. --Teachers College Record
