This volume, so ably assembled by Kim Buch and Kenneth Barron, focuses on learning communities at the beginning and at the culmination of work in the major of psychology and reflects a commitment to good practice both within and outside the classroom. Its comprehensive approach attests to the power of learning communities within the discipline and is a fine example of their evolution. As part of this effort, we welcome the opportunity to look at the development of learning communities over the years, the growth and diversification of these approaches, and the good practices that have emerged. At the same time, our reflections stimulated a number of questions whose consideration would, we believe, help strengthen the learning communities movement.
