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.
