So it's a textbook. Despite that fact, it's surprisingly readable. There's a consistent throughline, and it return to fundamental principles instead of merely being a collection of facts. It has some good resources and case studies to dive deeper, but is probably best used as a point of departure for discussion and a point of reference for practicing educators.

Not the best resource, it seemed to be geared towards elementary which was not helpful for a secondary ed major.
