Reviews

This wide-ranging, spirited book will be of interest to anyone who wants to learn more about the inner workings of educational reform. With teacher development as their prime focus, the authors attend to every aspect of reform. They describe the vision that guided their effort, their attempts to build a supportive institutional structure, their curricular and pedagogical undertakings, and their attempts to communicate and collaborate with the many persons who cross the stage of the drama they describe. Any reader who follows their account to the end will no longer be able to think about educational reform, especially in teacher education, in quite the same way. David Hansen, from the foreword
