Description
The Fourth Edition continues its emphasis on bridging the gap between theory, research, and practice with a clear and concise style that teachers will surely enjoy integrating into their own classrooms.
This text presents teaching from three specific actions-organizing, instructing, and assessing-and is divided into three sections, which reflect each of these teaching actions. The strategies presented in each section are truly universal in nature-they cut across grade levels, subject areas, and teaching situations.
With clear and effective writing and a decision-making framework that combines the context, content, and learner with what teachers need in the real world-organizing, instructing, and assessing-Universal Teaching Strategies expands both the pedagogical teaching knowledge of teachers and their instructional repertoires.
