Twenty-six American academics and education specialists contribute 13 chapters to a text for literacy leaders committed to best practices in preparing pre-K-12 teachers of reading to work with students in U.S. urban communities. Several chapters focus on relevant pedagogical, curricular, and policy hurdles faced by urban educators, such as limited school and community resources, teacher and administrator shortages, high rates of teacher and administrator turnover, and far-reaching social and economic challenges of urban communities. A selection of practical chapters translate theory into practicing, offering five model syllabi for those who deliver teacher education courses.
