Read for KSU's Models of Teaching Course - honestly, this is one of the best textbooks I've read. Engaging and helpful graphics...just lacked secondary implementation.
Had to read this for a grad class. Lots of tips and concepts. Some useful strategies and some for levels of kids that I don't teach. Glad to have finished it, though!
Read this for my grad program. Very informative and easy to follow. Gives examples and research. However, some methods had a lot more detail and examples and directions than others.
