[K · Rating 4 out of 5]

Read this during my Intermediate Teaching Practicum in Nebraska. A 6 credit undergrad course. Yes it’s a textbook, and it’s dense- but many people could look at this book and see the requirements for what it takes to plan and implement public school curriculum and lesson plans. There are so many resources and “little details” that go into planning for each day and each student, their background and ability level. This textbook is the beginning foundation, and a great resource.

Honestly, one of my more interesting textbooks!

This is a textbook, so naturally it is very dense and information-rich. Some complain that textbooks are dull--I say textbooks just sound like textbooks. What a textbook should be evaluated on is its content and usefulness. Overall, this was a useful introductory textbook. Chapters included: the teacher as decision maker; knowing your students; the fundamentals of planning; planning lessons and units; teacher-centered instructional strategies; student-centered instructional strategies; strategies that promote understanding, thinking and engagement; managing lesson delivery; classroom management; classroom discipline; assessing student performance; grading systems, marking, and reporting; collaborating with colleagues and families.

Again, this text served as a very useful and informative introduction.
