"I wish a book like this had been around a decade ago when I was immersed in the difficult work of preparing preservice teachers! It is filled with wonderful examples of many faculty action research projects that collectively and slowly helped to build top-notch teacher education programs, and it also does an excellent job of giving away the top secrets of gaining the institutional support one needs to take innovations to action."
