Filled with engaging examples and testimony from preservice teachers, the book provides guiding principles and practical suggestions, and offers a point of entry for those interested in a new approach to addressing a long-standing challenge in teacher education.

"Self and Stengel skillfully bring together practice-based teacher education with anti-oppressive teaching to provide practitioners with concrete and actionable ways to incorporate simulations across the teacher preparation curriculum. The result is a terrific springboard for conversations about how we can use simulations more ethically and in service of equitable outcomes for students."
--Julie Cohen, associate professor, University of Virginia Curry School of Education and Human Development

"The authors demonstrate how their work uniquely progresses teacher candidates' capacities to recognize and reflect on the legacy of white supremacy as it lives--and is defied--through human interactions. Balancing pragmatism and possibility, this book is both roadmap and inspiration in preparing future teachers."
--Tesha Sengupta-Irving, assistant professor of learning sciences, University of California, Berkeley

"In this timely and accessible text, Self and Stengel underscore both the importance of engaging preservice teachers in the equity- and justice-related dilemmas they are likely to encounter once teaching and the necessarily contingent nature of engaging such dilemmas. This book adds much-needed complexity to discussions about how to prepare equity- and justice-oriented teachers."
--Jamy Stillman, associate professor of education, director of elementary teacher education, University of Colorado, Boulder
