In Case You Teach English: An Interactive Casebook for Prospective and Practicing Teachers

by Larry R. Johannessen, Larry R. Johannssen, Thomas M. McCann

The first new casebook in more than ten years, it contains twenty current cases that present real classroom dilemmas English teachers are likely to encounter in today's classroom. The casebook is designed to help new and experienced English teachers become thoughtful and reflective practitioners who are well equipped to deal with complex and current problems. A grades and issues matrix identifies each case according to middle or high school grade level and indicates the issue(s) on which they focus. Twenty current cases represent real teaching dilemmas with no easy solutions so teachers can benefit from thinking through the dilemmas and developing possible solutions and consequences with other teachers. Focus questions and discussion questions accompany each case. For new and experienced English teachers.

A set of 20 cases designed for debate in a collaborative or classroom setting for current or new teachers. Honestly, there are probably better cases out there to be used as examples, but the collection isn’t half bad for its intended purposes.
