Summary

"The Wisdom of Practice at last makes Lee Shulman's major works on K-12 education and teacher education available in one volume. His interests in teaching of all sorts - in K-12 schools, in teacher education, in graduate programs for educational researchers, in liberal education - have been diverse. The essays included touch on such wide-ranging topics as the psychology of school subjects, medical problem solving, teacher knowledge, performance assessment, teaching in higher education, the scholarship of teaching and learning, the characteristics and pedagogies of the professions, the role of cases in professional education and research, and the characters of relevant and rigorous educational research."--Jacket.
