Synopsis

Learning And Teaching: Research-based Methods

About this title

From the Back Cover

Prepare for teaching in today’s classrooms with the sixth edition of Learning and Teaching: Research-Based Methods. Authors Don Kauchak and Paul Eggen organize their discussion around three important themes in education:

 

Standards and accountability. New sections related to standards and enhancements to the Preparing for Your Licensure Exam help prepare teachers for initial licensure, the realities of today’s classrooms, and new responsibilities for today’s teachers. 

 

Diversity of today’s learners. An entire chapter on Differentiated Instruction and a recurring feature Exploring Diversity in the sixth edition help teachers support the needs of all learners and communicate effectively with diverse students and families.

 

Technology to support learning. The Technology and Teaching feature in each chapter offers guidance to apply technology to support communication, collaboration, planning and more.
