BOOK REVIEWS Professional Development for Cooperative Learning: Issues and Approaches Celeste Brody and Neil Davidson (Eds.), 1998. Albany, NY: State University of New York Press. Reviewed by Yael Sharan (yaels@gezernet.co.il) Imagine my delight at opening the table of contents of this volume and realizing that I know 20 of the 29 contributors. Reading through the descriptions of their experiences in staff development vividly recalled IASCE conference workshops that introduced many of the ideas presented here. It was like extending the conversations held in the many conference rooms, hotel lobbies, bars, restaurants, and living rooms in which we've met over the past 20 years. This book is testimony to the fact that we've successfully survived the "awkward adolescent years" that Richard Schmuck described in his keynote address at the 8th IASCE conference in Portland in 1994 (1). The approaches to staff development for cooperative learning vibrantly described in the book's 16 chapters are proof that cooperative learning has "finished high school" and established a clear identity. Not only are we "attending college," but we're confidently teaching college!
