About this book

Gilrane's book sets out an approach to preservice teacher education designed to shape how prospective teachers think about their work. The aim is to cultivate a disposition toward teaching for genuine understanding rather than for the next test.

The author keeps in view the pressures that novice teachers meet in their first classrooms, where daily experience can push them toward preparing pupils for tomorrow's evaluation rubric. Those pressures shape what new teachers actually do, and the approach is built with them in mind.

The subtitle places the discussion in the Race to the Top period of US education reform, so the book will speak to teacher educators, school leaders and student teachers working through its effects.
