Summary Table of Contents

This textbook provides a practical, concise, criterion-referenced, performance-based, mastery learning model which is designed to help middle and secondary teachers become reflective practitioners. It is organized around four developmental concerns: why - the rationale to support the components that follow; what - what you will be teaching; how - how you will teach it; and how well - how well you are teaching it. These components are represented by the four parts of the book. Each part begins with a statement of its major objectives and with qu... MOREotations relevant to topics addressed in its modules. There are several hands-on exercises throughout that help students synthesize concepts and expand their metacognitive thinking. All exercises require the students to deal in some descriptive, analytical, or self-reflective manner with the concepts and actual practice.

This practical, performance based methods text for middle and second school pre-service teachers is organized around four developmental components: Whygives the rationale to support the components that follow Whatwhat you will be teaching Howhow you will teach it How wellhow well you are teaching it. Organized into four parts that are then split up into ten modules, the text begins with a history of education going back to colonial times. The modules then cover the many and varied aspects of teaching pre and early adolescents, such as teaching students with exceptionalities, classroom management, diversity, instructional planning, using technology in the classroom, assessing student achievement, and self-assessment and continued professional development. The authors contend that the best teacher is one who has an eclectic style and can monitor their own progress and make changes and adapt their strategies if they are not succeeding. The ninth edition has been carefully updated to reflect the diversity and current topics in the field today. The book is a valuable resource for students today and as a reference for many years to come. New To This Edition: NEW!

Contributions from pre-service and in-service middle and secondary school teachers, teacher educators, and educational researchers have been added--to strengthen the tie between theory and practice.
