Synopsis

For graduate and undergraduate courses in general K-12 methods.

 

The new edition of this popular text clearly achieves its stated goal: to prepare prospective teachers to meet the challenges of today's changing classrooms by providing effective, practical, research-based practices in an accessible, conversational style. Material is based on a quarter-century of actual, in-classroom research that makes it possible to replace anecdotal suggestions for good teaching with solidly research-grounded strategies empirically related to positive outcomes. The author shows future teachers not only “what” to do to meet today's teaching challenges, but “how” to do it, through the experiences of real teachers in real classrooms.

About this title

Review

"Over the past year, I tool part in an accelerated teacher training course at Muskingum College in Ohio. One of our textbooks was Effective Teaching Methods, Sixth Edition. I read your book cover -to-cover to prepare for the Praxis II PLT exam. It gave me the confidence and information necessary to do well on the exam. I have recently signed a contract to teach high school science and plan to keep your book close at hand to use as a reference."-- Chrstine HuthMuskingum Collge Student
