Invigorate learning with the Enhanced Pearson eText
The Enhanced Pearson eText provides a rich, interactive learning environment designed to improve student mastery of content with the following multimedia features:

  • For a glimpse at the real world of teaching, A Look Inside video features share footage of teachers and administrators discussing and applying chapter concepts. This offers readers an image of real world, K-12 education as it is experienced by those who are already in the field. (See pages 246 and 334 for examples.)
  • Chapter Self-Check. Teacher candidates can check their understanding of chapter concepts by taking this Chapter-Self Check. (See pages 120 and 328 for examples.)
  • Promoting reflection, the Professional Crossroads feature in every chapter poses a challenging classroom scenario and asks readers to consider all sides of the issue. Reflection questions at the end of each feature ask them to interact with the vignette in a purposeful and reflective way. These can be answered online via our Pearson eText, or spark classroom discussion. (See pages 102 and 257 for examples.)

About the Author

As a professor of education, I am, first and foremost, committed to developing outstanding K-12 teachers. That’s because I believe that highly qualified and passionate educators are the best instruments to improve education in K-12 settings. I am a Chair and Associate Professor of Education at Langston University, and I spent seven years as a K-12 teacher — an experience that gave me an intimate view of the challenges facing genuine education reform. With that experience behind me, I’ve focused the second stage of my career on researching topics related to education reform, the achievement gap, and teacher education. What I’ve found is that improving teacher education is an essential component in closing the achievement gap. My articles and op eds appear regularly in the Huffington Post, Diverse: Issues in Higher Education, Education Week, and Education World. I’ve also written numerous peer- reviewed articles, which have appeared in academic journals such as AASA Journal of Scholarship & Practice, International Journal of Progressive Education, Academic Leadership Journal, and others. In addition, I’ve authored and edited a number of books on school reform and school leadership. Please visit my website at www.drmattlynch.com for more information.
