I have found a book that I have been seeking. Don’t be put off by its size and weight; this is a book that all teacher researchers will want to own. While written for teacher researchers, this book challenges us by refusing to stop at simple truisms about the importance of teacher’s voices and the benefits of reflective practice. This book challenges us not only to do teacher research, but to do it well.

Whether we are a student attending these large institutions or simply reflecting upon our current role as faculty we will be able to recall what our teachers did, or did not do, to help us in …
