This handbook for beginning teachers offers a well-balanced approach to student teaching methods, bridging both the idealism of teaching and the realism of American schools today. The book offers strong historical perspectives while introducing current coverage, such as the use of technology and the Internet in the classroom. Offers an honest assessment of the dynamics of contemporary teaching with one foot planted in the theoretical and conceptual realm and another firmly planted in the practical, day-to-day teaching.
Well, this book has a lot of helpful activities and things but nothing that I felt would truly help me in the classroom. This would be a great book to spend a summer reading over and practicing the exercises but I don't think it's any different from what most student teachers will learn in Methods Class.
