About the Book

For introductory courses in teaching and education. How do you attract, prepare and retain future teachers? This highly applied text introduces beginning education students to teaching and presents an honest look at the real world of students, teachers, classrooms, and schools. Each chapter begins with a case study that helps the reader understand how chapter topics relate to the real world of teaching. In addition, each concept and discussion is framed within a case, so throughout the book students are applying concepts to real situations that teachers face everyday. Look for book icons to indicate where the text refers back to the opening case.
