Biographical note
Liston, Daniel P.; Zeichner, Kenneth M.<p><i>"<b>Culture and Teaching</b> significantly advances our understanding of the twin dimensions of reflective practice, one focused on developing practical theory and craft, the other on contextual conditions affecting teaching practice. [The] primary concern is to delineate the social conditions of schooling so that prospective and practicing teachers understand education as an instrument of social reconstruction and justice."</i><br />—<b>Walter J. Ullrich</b><br /><i>St. Cloud State University</i></p><p><i>"<b>Culture and Teaching</b> is intriguing and important. It integrates general issues of culture and education with particular classroom (and related) settings, and connects these to larger traditions....The vignettes will generate discussion....The authors have taken pains to present both illuminating and contestable situations, which amply illustrate the various schools of thought on these questions."</i><br />—<b>Landon E. Beyer</b><br /><i>Indiana University</i></p>
