This thoughtful book promotes reflective and creative teaching methods to inspire learners to become caring and effective teachers. The authors introduce the original reflective action model offering insight regarding how caring, relational teachers think and feel on the job. The book encourages readers to be proactive decision-makers, and to develop a strong sense of community among their students by learning how to accommodate diversity with inclusion. A variety of interactive activities breathe life into concepts throughout the book. Unit plans, lesson plans, and authentic teaching and learning strategies are presented along with a wide repertoire of strategies to develop a healthy classroom environment. Successful LEP programs are profiled, and strategies for fostering cooperation, interaction, and mutual respect among children from diverse backgrounds are discussed. A practical lesson-planning model incorporates contingencies that address what to do if the students do not understand the material and how to proceed if they already know it. A chapter on integrating technology into the curriculum includes software suggestions to enhance the learning process, and throughout the book, up-to-date case studies of practicing teachers provide vital insight into ways to turn theory into practice. For education professionals at the elementary school level.

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.
