Publisher's Synopsis
A supplement for freshman/graduate-level courses in Educational Psychology, Teaching Methods, Classroom Management, Human Growth and Development, and Foundations of Education.
This collection of thirty thought-provoking cases - written in a familiar script/screenplay dialogue format - focuses on a broad range of problems and situations that both beginning and experienced teachers are likely to encounter in the classroom in the elementary, middle, and secondary grades. Firmly based on the realities of contemporary teaching, the cases were derived from two major sources - the professional knowledge and content commonalities of ten teacher certification exams from 47 of 50 states, and a research review of the problems of beginning teachers.
