Excellent Book!!! This book is a must have for anyone who is willing to teach in an urban education setting. Easy to read with common sense terminology. | ||
Urban Teacher: an Honest Book I used the earlier version of this book with pre-service teachers in their final university practicum. It's an honest, forthright, useful guide for beginning teachers. My students compared what they were reading with their placement experiences. I can only assume that Weiner has done an even more excellent revision, addressing the toughest issues that teachers face. | ||
A Great Book for Every Teacher Lois Weiner's Urban Teaching provides a clear and insightful look into the issues that each urban teacher faces. A well-balanced mix of theory and anecdotes creates a reader-friendly text with suggestions that rookie and experienced educators alike can adopt. Perhaps the greatest strength of this text is that it provides information that can be easily translated for every classroom. All students face issues similar to those discussed here, and ultimately all teachers will surely benefit from Weiner's discussion. | ||
