Reviewers Praise the New Edition

“The chapter introductions and summaries are clear, concise, and well-written. They are crafted in a way that facilitates comprehension and review of key concepts. The scenarios from teaching situations are outstanding and help to bring a strong applied component to the text.”

-Deanna Nisbet, Regent University, Virginia

 

“I do not feel that there are any other texts that compare to this text. There are several others that minimally cover the topics, however, no others provide the coverage and variety of the Peregoy and Boyle.”

-Dorothy Craig, Middle Tennessee State University

 

“The summary (with a vignette), suggestions for further reading (annotative bibliography), and activities at the end of each chapter are very appropriate. The practical activities, in particular, raise questions and require students to consider issues outside their immediate classroom.”

-John Battenburg, California Polytechnic State University
