About this title

From the Publisher:

The reality of teaching in today's diverse, technologically sophisticated classrooms comes alive in this text...one that presents concrete guidelines for preparation of instruction, and of the instructional setting. Well-known for its clear and straightforward presentation, this text gives future teachers a firm foundation on which to build a personal teaching style. Separate chapters examine strategies for general teaching, adaptive instruction, and using computers, media, and other tools provided by modern technology. Explanations are always accompanied by a discussion of why some techniques succeed and others fail. Discussions of strategies are always backed by a rationale for their use. Text organization flows from background topics, through set-up ideas, to the specifics of day-to-day teaching...giving students a realistic feel for the decision- making involved in classroom teaching, and the interdependence of functions.
