An Insightful and Stimulating Look at Educating Teachers,
By Kim Olan (Bronx, New York) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Multicultural Strategies for Education And Social Change: Carriers of the Torch in the United States And South Africa (Multicultural Education (Paper)) (Paperback)
This book is a wonderful read. It engages the reader with a unique and eye-opening study of evolving teachers in the United States and South Africa. The journeys of self-awareness that the teachers undergo are remarkable and enlightening. They provide insights and practices that could greatly enhance teacher education programs.
The writing style is fluid and personal. Dr. Ball's voice resonates through the book inspiring the reader with contagious passion and optimism. As I read journal entries of the teachers in the study, I gained new perspectives and ideas for enhancing my own teaching approach. I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in effecting change in teacher education programs or in gaining personal insights into his own teaching strategies.
