This best-selling text provides comprehensive coverage of general teaching methods and models. The most balanced text in its field, Learning to Teach covers all major teaching models plus the leadership skills of teaching--planning, classroom management, assessment, motivation, and use/management of time and space. It provides strong coverage of both teacher-driven methodologies (Part Three) and student-driven methodologies (Part Four). Each chapter opens with a discussion of the research base and follows with detailed practical advice on how to use each model. Features within the text (such as "Reflections from the Classroom") and on the companion interactive student CD-ROM (such as "Lesson Planning Exercises," "Practice Activities" and "Portfolio and Field Experience Activities") allow students many opportunities to apply what they are learning.
