The book describes a reconceptualized teacher preparation program based on a teacher residency model. This model is grounded in three core beliefs: first, that teacher quality is a shared responsibility between universities and school districts; second, that all students have a right to high-quality teachers who are as racially, ethnically, and linguistically diverse as the students they teach; and third, that for education to be transformative, future educators must have the right balance of theoretical knowledge and practical experiences grounded in specific contexts.

Co-authored by Emeritus Professor Gerald Rising and published by Linus Learning in 2021. The text seeks to bridge that gap between science and humanities, to serve humanities students just as humanities texts are offered to inform science students. In doing so, unlike most math texts, the authors avoid the usual focus on detailed techniques to expose some of the important concepts and values of mathematics instead.
