About this title

From the Publisher:

Written specifically for beginning teachers, this text provides a comprehensive -- yet manageable -- down-to-earth exploration of the real-world of elementary school teaching -- within a social, cultural, and political context. It provides a strong theoretical foundation built on research on effective teaching and learning; a thoughtful analysis of national status studies on education; an abundance of proven curriculum and teaching methodologies for teaching skills, subject matter, and values; and a survey of the latest developments, trends, and issues relating to the work of the beginning teacher.
