In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

Acknowledgments This book is the result of many years of interactions with colleagues and students at universities and secondary schools. To them I am grateful. They taught me a great deal about teaching and learning. Sincere thanks go to Bryan Freeman, who was my mentor in my first year of teaching. Special thanks go to Connie Griffith, longtime friend and editor. Her editing skills are amazing; she smoothes rough sentences and catches details that escape me.

Special thanks also go to the faculty at York University in Canada who piloted the monograph version of this book and to their students who wrote me notes on how to improve it. Thanks go to Scot Danforth at the University of Tennessee Press, who believed in this writing project and published it. This page intentionally left blank. ...
