Book Description Teaching in America, Third Edition, was written to meet preservice teachers need for an active learning book that presents current ideas about teaching in America along with the underpinning foundations of education. The Third Edition, maintains its unique and engaging "working-text" style that provides preservice teachers' with an active learning experience while establishing the foundations of education and incorporating a contemporary picture of teaching in America today. Readers reflect and respond directly within the book to issues raised in the chapters, thereby actively constructing knowledge and ideas about teaching. This approach enables future teachers to make the transition from thinking about being a teacher to identifying with the profession as an active, confident participant. Teaching in America builds in the reader a firm knowledge of education as an institution and as a career, a knowledge of teaching competencies, and a knowledge of issues in education. | ||

Experience and Ingenuity One of the best guides for someone breaking into teaching currently on the market. I have had the distinct honor of working with Dr. Morrison and these experiences have done nothing but enlighten me and teach me things I might not otherwise have learned. He brings this ability to communicate both gracefully and pactfully to his text, mixing it with his natural love of children and his honest desire to help people learn how to do that single most important of jobs - teach. I recommend this book to anyone even vaguely considering education as a career, and to those who have experience in the profession. It will reveal many things you will not find anywhere else but experience and it will shed new light on old subjects for those with time infront of students. | ||
