Becoming Teachers of Inner-City Students offers a detailed and fascinating examination of identifications, concepts, and contexts that emerged from the stories of White teachers committed to inner-city schools. Jupp’s research and the stories on which it is based make visible the complex nature, the existing contradictions, and the messy space of inner-city teaching and learning and of efforts to prepare White teachers to work effectively and equitably in urban schools while also pointing the way to essential concepts and practices for effective and positive teaching in inner-city schools.” — \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eTeachers College Record\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, November 2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBecoming Teachers of Inner-city Students\u003c\/i\u003e takes on the continuing challenges of White teachers in increasingly \u003ci\u003ede facto\u003c\/i\u003e re-segregated schools of the present. Drawing on the author’s eighteen years of experience as a classroom teacher and his research on White teachers of inner-city students, \u003ci\u003eBecoming Teachers\u003c\/i\u003e provides key discussions on professional identity for preservice teachers, professional educators, and researchers interested in diversity education or urban education. [..] Driving at complex recognitions of race, class, culture, language, and gender as a basis for teaching and learning with diverse urban students, the author’s and other White teachers’ life and teaching stories move beyond prescriptive models of professional identity for preservice and professional teachers to “follow.” Instead, life and teaching stories in \u003ci\u003eBecoming Teachers\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrate again and again that in teaching \u003ci\u003ethe personal is political, professional knowledges are forged in practice\u003c\/i\u003e, and—overall—that \u003ci\u003ebecoming a professional teacher is a process that draws on one’s experiences and inner-most convictions\u003c\/i\u003e.
