Reviews / Votes
'Teaching about Teaching i s a well-written, thought-provoking, introspective text. The essays are written by and for teachers, offering the voices we too often fail to hear. For experienced teacher educators, this book serves as a means of reaffirming what they already do in their university classrooms. For others, particularly instructors new to the field of teacher education, this text offers practical suggestions and means by which to teach teachers the skills they will need in the classroom ... this information results in a practical as well as theoretical discussion that links research and theory with practice.' - The Educational ForumMore details
