      abstract = {"Amid the chorus of demands for change in teacher  education, Teacher Preparation as an Inspirational Practice  focuses on an equally important but seldom discussed  question: What should stay constant? This book provides the  answer -- nurturing the capacities of prospective teachers  to be responsive to their future students, while also being  responsive to teacher candidates themselves. This book  draws from the literature base on teaching's moral  dimensions to establish a framework for responsiveness in  teacher education, describes obstacles to its  actualization, and suggests approaches for nurturing  responsive capacities in teacher candidates. Teacher  educators will find personal relevance and resonance in the  familiar, daily language of practice used in this book.  Voices of teacher candidates, preservice teacher educators,  and school administrators animate the conversation about  responsiveness through reflections about personal  experiences, aspirations and challenges. Philosophy and  practice are situated within the context of tensions  between standardization and teachers' commitments to remain  true to the unique needs of students and teacher  candidates"--},
