Description
For a course in General Secondary or Middle School Methods.
Written with a pragmatic and reflective approach, this text combines 1) detailed technical skills development based on best practice and research, 2) reflective thinking and practice, 3) modeled interdisciplinary curriculum, 4) a multicultural unit developed as a theme, and 5) a strong emphasis on classroom management. The centerpiece of the book is a case study of a middle school interdisciplinary team that profiles the steps they take in designing a multicultural unit to develop the future teacher's concrete skills in curriculum, instruction, and management. Unlike competing texts, this book provides simple, easy to use decision-making models and places an emphasis on teaching strategies.
