Summary

A fresh approach to teaching that puts student learning at the center of teachersrs" work,reflecting new thinking in the field emerging from the accountability movement, research on teacher effectiveness from educational psychology, and current accreditation requirements for student outcomes. Using a multitude of examples from the working lives of teachers, this book propels students into the world of teaching by pairing rich examples and real-life stories with practical applications. Rather than taking a superior stance toward its readers, it meets them where they are in their professional development, anticipating and addressing questions about todayrs"s schools and students and what actually happens in the daily lives of todayrs"s teachers.
