Overview
Designed for beginning teachers, CLASSROOM TEACHING SKILLS, Tenth Edition, conceptualizes the effective teacher as a "reflective decision maker," responsible for planning, implementing, evaluating, and making management decisions in the classroom. Each chapter considers a particular teaching skill, first discussing the theory behind it, and then presenting the reader with practice situations in which knowledge about the skill can be applied and evaluated. The Tenth Edition continues to address the importance of core InTASC standards (matched with learning objectives for each chapter), while incorporating more extensive coverage on technology, Common Core State Standards, and working with English Language Learners. In addition, new "Voices from the Classroom" and "Case Study" features as well as the popular TeachSource Videos help readers better understand the issues they may encounter as teachers.
Available with InfoTrac® Student Collections http://gocengage.com/infotrac.
- Integrated with the latest InTASC standards, the book includes chapter-opening lists of standards to be addressed in upcoming material and marginal icons to identify standards-related content. The Standards Correlation Chart on the inside front cover, which shows how standards relate to the book's learning objectives, has also been updated.
- A new "Voices from the Classroom" feature presents first-person accounts from educators who offer practical strategies and insights on a chapter-related topic. Examples include "Sharing Objectives and Standards with Students" in the instructional objectives chapter, "Collaborative Planning for Collaborative Teaching" in the instructional planning chapter, and "Making Changes--Thanks to Brian" in the assessments chapter.
- A new "Case Study" feature strengthens the book's real-world flavor and helps readers better understand some of the issues they will face as teachers. Topics include "Setting the Scene for Differentiation by Using Technology," "A Case for involving Students in Learning," and "Four Ways to Think about Differentiation."
- More technology coverage throughout the book, identified by an icon, discusses ways in which teachers can use technology to enhance teaching and learning. Topics include "Common Core State Standards and Technology Integration," "Technology Tip: Classroom Clicks," and "Has Technology Changed the Way Students Learn?"
- More material on Common Core State Standards and on working with English Language learners is incorporated throughout this edition.
- Marginal notations throughout the text identify content related to InTASC standards as well as key ideas, assisting students with comprehension and review.
- TeachSource Videos, which can be viewed at Education CourseMate, the book's website, are integrated into the book. These short videos present real classroom scenarios that enable students to observe the day-to-day challenges and rewards of teaching.
- Core InTASC standards are addressed in regard to each chapter's objectives. A correlation table that links chapters and standards is located on the inside front cover of the text, making it easy for students to see where and how InTASC standards are addressed.
- Practical and applied, the book has a format that requires students to actively participate in its exercises, and consequently build skills that they will be able to put to work immediately in the classroom.
- Each chapter addresses a particular teaching skill, and is written by a recognized authority on the topic. Topics include, among others, assessment, culturally responsive teaching, cooperative learning, and issues of behavior management in the classroom.
