review 1: This is a solid book about the potential and challenges of teaching. While the word 'capital' is used in a cliched form throughout many discourses and disciplines, there is some currency to 'professional capital.'Why do teachers succeed? Why do teachers fail?

Also, there were more exclamation points in this book than anything else I've ever read, for reals. less
