Synopsis

One of the tragedies of American education is that so many teachers do not understand or are unaware of educational issues and how they impact on their profession. There is a gap between teacher perceptions and reality and this book is a first step in closing that gap. Hot-Button Issues for Teachers is a timely, comprehensive book that addresses more than 100 educational issues that are facing our schools, children, and especially teachers. These issues include: · Teacher Education · Merit Pay · Unions · Classroom Management · Textbook Selection · Professional Relationships · School Safety This book should be of interest to all of those in the teaching profession.
