What people are saying about Practice What You Teach:

“Both practical and provocative, this book will be an essential tool for those working to develop teachers who are both more critical in their teaching and more invested in activism beyond the classroom. ” — Charles M. Payne, Frank P. Hixon Distinguished Service Professor in the School of Social Service Administration, University of Chicago

“Bree Picower shows how teacher activism develops and can be nurtured in this engaging, personal, and highly insightful volume. This book is a must-read for anyone who believes that education is key to social justice.” — Christine Sleeter, President of the National Association for Multicultural Education

“Based on sound research with teachers at various stages of consciousness about inequity and injustice, this book will be an invaluable source of support and inspiration for all teachers.” — Sonia Nieto, Professor Emerita of Language, Literacy, and Culture, University of Massachusetts, Amherst
