What issues in English teacher education are sidestepped because they are too loaded to
address? What aren't we talking about when we discuss classroom management censorship
standardized tests media literacy social justice issues the standards and technology? What
really matters to novices entering the profession? The authors in this book wrestle with the
disparities between preservice English teacher instruction and secondary school space as the
two collide and describe the tools that preservice English teachers need to negotiate and
navigate between theory and practice. This book answers these questions and offers
groundbreaking insights about liberatory pedagogy for how teacher educators can mentor
preservice teachers on touchy issues providing them with tools to reach today's students.
