I bought this for an independent study graduate class. It seemed as though it would be exactly what I needed with the video's of the case studies and the refelctions on those lessons. Part of the problem with this book was that I had no idea it was the school administration for professional development workshops. So a lot of the refelctions were more about how to teach inquiry, not the importance of it. Overall it was very interesting to watch. However, the sound was so horrible on the last 2 videos I had to just turn it off and read the scripts. There were captions on half the videos and they should have been on all of them. I spent more time trying to read what they were saying because I couldn't understand it, that I missed most of the video. I am not entirely convinced that the video's were needed either, since the camera rarely moved to the person that was talking in several videos.

If there is a newer version of this with better sound, it may be useful.
