Good teaching demands that instructors consistently make the best choices among the many alternatives available for instruction and classroom management. This valuable text will help teachers--especially beginning teachers--cope successfully with the overwhelming number of choices they face. Each well-written chapter presents the reader with choices that elementary teachers must typically make as they practice their craft. Lucid discussions of important theories are supported by abundant examples from "real" classrooms. In addition, detailed descriptions of instructional settings are provided to help teachers develop an awareness of possibilities and choices. Easy to read, this excellent reference volume has a strong practitioner bias and offers thorough and diverse coverage. The text covers a diverse range of approaches, strategies, and theories. Theorists include Piaget, Bloom, Gagne, Bruner, Hunter, Glasser, Gordon, Dreikurs, and Canter. These authors' ideas are explained clearly, succinctly, and simply. While the text does not shy away from explaining educational/psychological theorists, it explains everything in terms of its relevance for actual teaching and management in elementary classrooms. Developing a Teaching Style will be an often-used teaching resource. First-year teachers can review it to refresh their memories on how to manage classrooms, on how to develop outcomes or write objectives, on which methods of teaching fit which purposes, and on how to write lesson plans and develop units.
