Using the case study of a Seattle school, this text describes a working model for the education of homeless children in America's public schools.

The second edition of the seminal text designed to empower educators with an innovative conceptual framework for teaching.

Education policymakers often demonstrate surprisingly little awareness of how popular reforms impact teaching and teacher education. In this book, scholars help readers develop a more robust understanding of the nature of teacher preparation, as well as an in-depth grasp of how popular policies, practices, and ideologies have taken root.
