For graduate and undergraduate courses in general K-12 methods. The new edition of this popular text clearly achieves its stated goal: to prepare prospective teachers to meet the challenges of today's changing classrooms by providing effective, practical, research-based practices in an accessible, conversational style. Material is based on a quarter-century of actual, in-classroom research that makes it possible to replace anecdotal suggestions for good teaching with solidly research-grounded strategies empirically related to positive outcomes. The author shows future teachers not only "what" to do to meet today's teaching challenges, but "how" to do it, through the experiences of real teachers in real classrooms.

The sixth edition of Observation Skills for Effective Teaching focuses on observing others and incorporating the right tools, knowledge, and skills into your own practice — key principal means by which you can become an effective and professional teacher. Using this text, you will learn to observe in the following eight areas: learning climate, classroom management, lesson clarity, instructional variety, task orientation, student engagement, student success, and higher thought processes. These eight areas have been found by researchers to be related to desirable cognitive, social, and emotional outcomes in learners. This book will also teach you how to decide what to observe, how to effectively and efficiently observe in the classroom, and how to apply what you have learned through observation to grow as a reflective teacher. In addition, the book provides methodological concepts, observation instruments, and dialogues designed to help you see and practice research-based patterns of effective teaching.

This paperback focuses on authentic assessment—what it is, how to do it, and what the issues surrounding it are (e.g., validity, reliability, and impacts on instruction). The authors intent is to excite teachers about the possibilities for learning in their classrooms and to indicate ways to communicate this learning to other teachers, parents, and learners. Gives classroom teachers alternative ways of assessing how their learners think, what they know, and what they can do. Presents ways to measure collaborative skills and academic motivation since research in the “New Synthesis” tradition underscores the importance of cooperative learning as a key to both learning and motivation. Presents the highlights of the “New Synthesis” and links it with research on academic motivation. Demonstrates how teachers can assess important learning outcomes using a variety of measurement tools.
