Synopsis:

Thinking about entering the field of teaching? Before you enter a teacher education program, be sure to read THOSE WHO CAN, TEACH, 12th Edition, and its current, dynamic, and reader-friendly approach designed to help you make an informed decision about entering the teaching profession. Using multiple sources, including biographies, narratives, profiles, and interviews with top educators and scholars, the text encourages you to interact and exposes you to the realities of teaching. This acclaimed author team's direct, conversational tone invites you to reflect on the problems and satisfactions of teaching in the United States and casts a career in teaching as a positive challenge.

Review: "What I like most about the text is its subtle yet ever-present focus upon the future teachers' dispositions, while providing them with the foundations of the discipline itself. I strive to create a learner-centered classroom; Ryan and Cooper have succeeded in creating a learner-centered text." "I have used TWCT for the past 8 years because of its 'approachability.' Students (and I) find its conversational tone to be inviting and engaging. The scope of its content is a masterful blend of the perennial and the contemporary. Students see themselves as active participants in the teaching profession as they take on the intellectual, practical, and ethical challenges presented byRyan and Cooper."
