These individuals have made a difference in the lives of their students, their colleagues, and many classroom teachers. The book presents research on 15 different teacher education programs and describes individual renewal efforts. The stories -- including both the successes and challenges -- are inspiring and informative.

The text includes examples of both large scale research and individual efforts. The common thread among the authors is a commitment to "walking the talk
