Extensively updated, the new edition emphasizes diversity as a part of community building; the importance of instructional and shared leadership; and the building of communities of practice, while the book's trademark concentration on reflective practice is maintained throughout the text. The sixth edition also contains a new "Some Reflections" feature that appears in most chapters and that offers students a chance for further critical thinking and enriched class discussions.
