Synopsis

Appropriate for Middle and High School Methods courses.

This unique new entry into the middle and high school methods market offers an intimate, first-person approach with an emphasis on reflective teaching. Four types of reader activities in the chapters, as well as biography, teaching philosophy and portfolio activities make this a practical text rich in applications. Teaching is portrayed as a process of ongoing learning, growth and development and a strong emphasis is placed on multiculturalism and diversity. While most books tend to take a more traditional, skills-based approach, Contexts of Teaching presents teaching methods from a constructivist, inquiry perspective consistent with current educational trends.
