""This edited collection provides a needed link between international education research and the professional concerns of pre-service teachers and practicing educators. The diverse compilation of essays explores … educational issues in areas of the world often ignored in teacher education programs. The book stimulates readers to think comparatively about their own educational practices and experiences, encouraging teachers to think in new ways about common educational issues."" - Rebecca Clothey, School of Education, Drexel University
