'Grounded in historical and contemporary perspectives on how, where, and at what cost teachers are prepared, The Struggle for the Soul of Teacher Education is the book for which we have been waiting! Zeichner skillfully outlines a community-centered approach to transforming teacher education that surely will change how we think about the work of teaching and teacher education, and what we do to ensure students experience the kinds of learning opportunities they deserve in classrooms across the globe.'-H. Richard Milner IV, Helen Faison Professor Urban Education, University of Pittsburgh 'Ken Zeichner has been a leading voice in teacher education for almost four decades. In this book, he continues to challenge the field, urging us to be alert to the all-too-common illusion of change in teacher education and to engage in serious reflection on the future of the field. Zeichner offers a vision in which universities, school districts, teachers' unions, and communities collaborate to prepare culturally and community responsive teachers. The Struggle for the Soul of Teacher Education is a must-read for anyone committed to significantly improving the preparation of teachers.'-Ana Maria Villegas, Professor, Secondary and Special Education and Director of the Teacher Education and Teacher Development PhD Program, Montclair State University
