Dalla quarta di copertina

Teaching Today, Seventh Edition, connects well-grounded research with decision making and practical classroom application, making it an invaluable resource for beginning teachers. Readers are introduced to current issues in education and the realities of teaching in today's classrooms. They learn how to analyze, reflect, and decide how to respond and what roles they will be required to play as teachers. Unique to Teaching Today, Part III, Teaching and Assessing, gives readers four chapters filled with vivid, detailed pictures of effective instruction, classroom management and discipline, and assessment, deepening readers' understanding of the realities of teaching today.
