Review Quotes:
" ... a concise introduction to teacher reflection, examining the foundations and purposes of teachers' reflective practice in clear, engaging prose. The teacher-based vignettes provide meaningful, practical connections between the act of reflection and the act of teaching."

"Few authors manage to handle the complexity inherent in teaching as accessibly as Zeichner and Liston, without losing any of the nuance and subtlety needed to address these issues. I appreciate the fact that the authors do not attempt to provide recipes, but instead introduce tools to think about the profession that are historically and philosophically grounded."
