Synopsis

For General Elementary (K-6) Methods courses.

This text offers a thorough, balanced description of the realities of teaching in today's standards-based environment, while encouraging prospective teachers to be as reflective, creative, and independent as possible throughout their careers. It introduces a new model of reflective action that addresses the need for teachers to plan curriculum with accepted standards in mind, and at the same time, to be proactive decision-makers, to develop a strong sense of community among their pupils, and to accommodate diversity with inclusion. Case studies throughout the text illustrate this model in action, with truly exhilarating stories of teachers who see national curriculum and testing standards not as a goal but as a baseline.

A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

This exciting new edition introduces an updated model of reflective action in teaching and aims to inspire preservice and inservice teachers to view national, state, and local standards as meaningful and important, but not the end-goal of teaching. Through this model, rea5ers will learn how to become more reflective and proactive in the thousands of decisions teachers face each day.

Features of the Fourth Edition include:

• PRAXIS II margin notes show where chapter content aligns with the areas of knowledge and topics found on the Principles of Learning and Teaching Exam.
• Chapter-ending Reflective Action Experiences for Your Professional Portfolio are simulated activities drawn from the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards requirements and provide opportunities for readers to document the reflective actions they take to meet students' needs.
• Authentic exhilarating teacher stories, Reflective Action Stories, showcase real teachers who begin with standards, but end up exceeding them by creating highly original and creative curricula that meet the diverse needs of their students.
