For your classes in Introduction to Education, McGraw-Hill introduces the latest in its acclaimed M Series. The M Series started with your students. McGraw-Hill conducted extensive market research with thousands of students to inquire about their studying and buying behavior. They told us they wanted briefer texts with innovative visual appeal at a less expensive price. We also wanted to provide faculty with an approach to reach students without compromising on high quality content.

The result is TEACH, a more portable, more current, and more captivating option for your Introduction to Education course. Using vivid and contemporary examples framed around questions that students are likely to ask, such as “Teaching: Is it for me?” and “Who Sometimes Gets Overlooked in School?” TEACH includes primary source readings and integrates the intellectual foundations of education throughout each chapter, offering scholarly and current content in a magazine format that engages the reader, all at a student-friendly price.
