"I have never read anything quite like this book. It contains explicit representations of the conceptual frames and work of distinguished literacy teacher educators at various stages in their careers, accounts that provide a strong counter-narrative to the mainstream discourse in policy and education, that fully embrace the uncertainties and complexities of practice." â From the Forward by Susan L. Lytle, Professor Emerita of Education, Graduate School of Education, University of Pennsylvania
