商品簡介
Martin and Loomis (both Kennesaw State U.) provide an introductory textbook for prospective teachers, taking a constructivist approach that helps readers create their own knowledge on the topic. Based on Interstate New Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium Standards, they discuss characteristics of good teachers and teaching; teaching philosophies; research and theories about education; student characteristics and relationships; aspects of culture, class, gender, and sexual orientation; and student life and safety. They also address the unique abilities and learning styles of students, school structure and expectations, governance and finance, social issues, behavior management, the history of education, laws, and curriculum and education reform. The appendix lists state certification offices. The accompanying CD-ROM contains video clips filmed in elementary, middle, and secondary school settings.
