Combining the brevity of a streamlined Introduction to Education text with the support package of a much more expensive book, the brief edition of Teachers, Schools, and Society encourages experienced instructors to explore their own creativity while ensuring that newer faculty can teach the course with confidence. David Sadker’s and Karen Zittleman’s lively writing style captures the joys and challenges of teaching. The text stresses the importance of fairness and justice in school and society, focuses on the most crucial topic areas, and integrates the most current issues in education. In addition, the wealth of activities included--from online video observations to portfolio-building exercises--offers a broad range of ways to introduce students to the teaching profession.

From the Publisher:
Readability. The text's readability makes it accessible and engaging for the student. The authors use different approaches throughout to convey information to make the text as interesting as possible. They use humor and an accessible writing style to involve and challenge the student in active reading.
The Interactive Text. Interactive Activities and the chapter-opening What Do You Think? opinion poll activity link students to the Online Learning Center. Examples of Interactive Activities include practicing with the pedagogical cycle, identifying philosophical approaches, labeling timelines, and viewing different types of educational technology. Each chapter ends with a link to the Online Learning Center that lists the resources available. The Online Learning Center is designed to be an interactive extension of the text.
Annotated Instructor's Edition. The new AIE provides instructional ideas and links key supplements to the content through approximately 40 annotations per chapter. Features include Teaching Tips, Critical Thinking Questions, Class Activities and Grabbers, Global Views, and Multiple Intelligences Connections in addition to traditional features and referencing of supplemental material.
Interactive Pedagogy. As a whole, the pedagogical system as been made interactive through reflection questions. New pedagogical features include You Be the Judge (a revised and expanded version of the popular Balance Sheets), Profile in Education (an expanded version of Profile in Teaching), Photo-synthesis (an expanded version of Photos in Contrast), and Reel to Real Teaching (a listing of education-related movies).
Chapter Reorganization. A Question-and-Answer Guide to Entering the Teaching Profession has been moved to Chapter 15. Student Diversity (Ch. 2) now precedes Teacher Effectiveness. Philosophy of Education (Ch. 9) now follows The History of American Education.
New Content. Philosophy of Education has been extensively revised. In additional to a solid presentation of educational philosophies, this chapter now includes more diverse coverage of philosophy with specific new content added on key female figures. New topics added throughout the text include Social Reconstructionism, cultural deficit and cultural difference theories, and a discussion of financial court battles surrounding adequate education.
Online Learning Center. The Online Learning Center has been expanded as a student resource to include both a comprehensive Student Study Guide (with practice quizzes, objectives, main points, key terms, and practice activities with key terms) and content extending the text (Interactive Activities, What Do You Think? opinion poll, In the News updates, Web Links, additional Class Acts, electronic Inter-missions forms, and additional coverage not found in the text). Due to the great wealth of information of the site, the Online Learning Center has been password protected. Students receive a free password card with the purchase of a new text. Password cards can be purchased separately.
Video Program. The Teachers, Schools, and Society video program has been expanded to provide at least one video clip per chapter (in many cases, there are several). Teachers, Schools, and Society: A Video Companion has been revised to include segments on meeting special needs, cooperative learning, alternate assessments, immigrant students, curriculum design, standards, philosophy in the classroom, a school board meeting, academic controversy, identifying classroom bias, technology in instruction, and multiple intelligences. In addition, the Only a Teacher video series (as seen on PBS) is available with the text. This three-video series chronicles the history of the American teacher and includes both extensive historical coverage and contemporary classroom scenes. Segments from all of the videos are keyed to each chapter in the Annotated Instructor's Edition.
Comprehensive Coverage. Teachers, Schools, and Society provides a comprehensive introduction to education and teaching. Part I: Teachers and Students discusses what teaching is like today - opportunities, students and teachers; Part II: Schools and Curriculum looks at schools and curriculum; Part III: Foundations presents the foundations of education; and Part IV: Tomorrow discusses equal opportunity, technology, and what the student can expect in her first classroom.
Technology Coverage. Technology in Education (Ch. 13) has been revised to provide the most current coverage of technology in education - the latest computer technologies and how they are being used in schools, and how technology is affecting education. Technology-related coverage is integrated throughout the text as appropriate.
Purposeful Pedagogy. Proven features include Class Acts (part-opening vignettes), In the News (briefs on current issues in education), and Inter-missions (part-ending portfolio activities keyed to INTASC standards). Chapter pedagogy includes Focus Questions, Chapter Preview, Summary, Key Terms, Discussion Questions and Activities, and For Further Reading.
Supplements. The text is accompanied by a wealth of resources including a new Annotated Instructor's Edition; an Instructor's Manual/Test Bank (with extensive, creative activities; and added test questions as well as a new alternative assessment activity for each chapter); a computerized Test Bank, an Instructor's Resource CD-Rom (with the Instructor's Manual, Test Bank, and PowerPoints); Full-Color text-specific Overhead Transparencies; The McGraw-Hill Introduction to Education Overhead Transparencies and PowerPoint slides; the video program; the Online Learning Center (that includes instructor resources in additional to student resources); and a Making the Grade CD-Rom (with practice quizzes for students).
A Diversity-Focused Approach. The text includes an integrated, multicultural/diversity-oriented approach in all chapters, including the most comprehensive coverage of the roles and experiences of girls and women.
Scholarship. The text has been updated to include the most current scholarship.
Portfolio Activities. The Inter-missions sections at the end of each part provide portfolio activities keyed to the INTASC standards. Available for packaging are Rieman, Teaching Portfolios and FolioLive.
