3.5/5
A fine book, but most of the essays spoke to teaching either little kids, or teaching humanities. There was some hs science/math content, but a lot of what I read wasn’t really applicable for me. Which is a major frustration of mine in teaching pd!!! No one wants to talk about teaching science >:(

loved a lot of this, but some of the essays fell flat for me

Great book to use in a teacher education methods course. Nice variety of pieces and voices that engaged preservice teachers.

I am so grateful this book exists! It’s like a warm hug and like a coconspirator at the same time. I will return to this over and over. I loved the section on teacher’s unions.
