"This book shows how teacher education can foster educators who think critically, act ethically, and cultivate positive relationships. In these days of over-emphasis on metrics it is heartening to see a recentering of practice around ethics, values and the love of learning."
Paul Ernest, Professor Emeritus, Exeter University, UK
"This book offers a long-awaited resource on the practical implementation of constructivist theory in teacher education. Featuring examples from classroom practice to community engagement, it powerfully illustrates practicing what we teach and the transformative potential of an authentic, relational approach to teacher preparation."
Kathryn Castle, Professor Emeritus, Oklahoma State University, USA
"Constructivism can give us hope in a time of disequilibrium. By doing our work, and doing it well, we are embracing a positive vision of the future, an optimistic faith in our children. We welcome and need the varied forms of inspiration and ideas provided in this book."
Christine Chaillé, Professor Emeritus, Portland State University, USA
"This book will provide rich examples for applying constructivist theories to practices in classrooms, teacher education programs, and learning opportunities that merge into community settings. Critical thinking ignited through reflective and responsive aspects of constructivism are necessary for maintaining humanity and democracy in this ever-changing technology oriented global society."
Jane T. Broderick, Professor, East Tennessee State University, USA
