About this book
Reviews
There are books on poverty and education, on teacher education and on pedagogy. This book brings together researchers from these and related areas to discuss the very timely issue of preparing teachers for high-poverty contexts. In a world where neoliberal governance looks to stripped-down teacher education and teacher standards are very generic, programs which focus on teacher education specifically in high poverty contexts are sorely needed. Researchers here focus on contexts in the US, Australia, South Africa, Canada, the UK, Chile, to discuss what is in effect the urgency of preparing teachers for high-poverty contexts. It is a very timely and very necessary collection. Professor Wayne Sawyer, University of Western Sydney, Penrith, Australia
