This book about one urban teacher education partnership is written for those who want to plan, direct, work in, or study a full-scale, pre-K-12 school, university, and community partnership.   The book offers a comprehensive approach to urban teacher education.  Topics cover (1) recruitment; (2) a large-scale Professional Development School model (e.g. 400 candidates per semester) and an early childhood residency graduate program (20 candidates per cohort)two partnership programs embracing all university preservice teacher candidates; (3) induction support for new teachers, and finally, (4) professional development for candidates and experienced, in-service teachers.Each of the six chapters show how the separate parts of teacher education can be interrelat\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI have spent my career in teacher education, worked in many partnerships, and am committed to improving urban schools.  To do this, we must engage in high quality, game-changing work.  I have been a long-time follower of the important work done by Wichita State University.  This text includes the voices of a diverse group of partnership members, and I am looking forward to seeing this well-written and succinct story in print. -- Diane Yendol-Hoppey, Professor \u0026amp; Dean, College of Education and Human Services, University of North Florida\u003cbr\u003eA partnership of shared responsibilities in supporting student teachers between a university and a school district enhances the district’s capacity to retain quality teachers.  The lessons learned in such collaborations can become a research supported pathway for school districts in major cities across the country.  Hopefully the work found in this text will continue and new understandings will emerge that will guide teacher preparation programs. -- William D.
