“The new edition updates a classic text for those who want both theory and practice.”- Larry Cuban, professor emeritus, Stanford University;
“I have no doubt that this important book will be of enormous practical value.”- From the Foreword by Linda Darling-Hammond, Stanford University;
“In this updated version of the now-classic text, Rachel Lotan demonstrates, once again, her virtuosity at combining enormously practical guidance for effective pedagogy with solid theory and evidence. Hugely respectful, this book doesn’t simply tell educators what to do, but explains why and how their practice of groupwork can be both deeply educative and powerfully equitable.”- Jeannie Oakes, director, Educational Opportunity and Scholarship, Ford Foundation, and Presidential Professor Emerita, UCLA
