Teaching in America - Softcover

Reseña del editor

Teaching in America, Third Edition, was written to meet preservice teachers' need for an active learning text that presents current ideas about teaching in America along with the underpinning foundations of education. The Third Edition maintains its unique and engaging "working-text" style that provides preservice teachers with an active learning experience while establishing the foundations of education and incorporating a contemporary picture of teaching in America today. Readers reflect and respond directly within the book to issues raised in the chapters, thereby actively constructing knowledge and ideas about teaching. This approach enables future teachers to make the transition from thinking about being a teacher to identifying with the profession as an active, confident participant. Teaching in America provides the reader with a firm understanding of education as an institution and as a career, and a knowledge of teaching competencies and issues in education.
