This book is a case study of a teacher education reform initiative. We—teachers in schools and a university—write together about our attempts to reform our teacher education program. We use both narrative and systematic studies to analyze in detail our reform initiatives—the changes we designed, the complex demands and learning that occurred over time, and the ongoing research and program evaluation that informed our decision making.

The chapters of this book are written to be somewhat free standing. Each chapter concludes with a summary of what we learned and a list of discussion questions to tie our work to bigger issues and to encourage further dialogue.
