/*0205453740 Morrison, Teaching in America*/Teaching in America, Fourth Edition, is a unique active learning text that provides pre-service teachers with comprehensive, current, and practical information about the profession of teaching and a realistic understanding of the foundations of education in America. The Fourth Edition maintains its unique, engaging <169>working-text<170> style, providing pre-service teachers with extensive opportunities to interact with the text while establishing both the foundations of American education and a clear picture of the realities of contemporary teaching. Readers reflect and respond directly within the book to issues raised in the chapters, thereby actively constructing knowledge and ideas about teaching. This approach enables future teachers to make the transition from thinking about being a teacher to identifying with the profession as active, confident participants. Teaching in America provides the reader with a firm understanding of education as an institution and as a career, as well as a comprehensive knowledge of teaching competencies and issues in education.
