Abstract "For preservice candidates and novice teachers facing the challenges of feeling underprepared to teach in urban schools, this book offers a framework for conceptualizing, planning, and engaging in powerful teaching grounded in an understanding of child and adolescent growth and development, cultural diversity, and their relationship to cognition and learning in school. By refining their understanding of how to support students' learning in ways that consistently lead to productive experiences, preservice candidates are prepared to make a successful transition and novice teachers are helped to develop teaching practices that are responsive to the life conditions of urban students and support academic excellence"-- Provided by publisher.
