Ask the Teacher: A Practitioner's Guide to Teaching and Learning in the Diverse Classroom

by Mark Ryan

Using a question-and-answer format, this book presents the teacher candidate with the opportunity to confront issues dealing with foundations, educational psychology, curriculum, methodology, or family involvement in the teaching process. Teacher candidates learn to reflect on classroom problems when they are confronted with curiosity, confusion, or uncertainty. The replies to those queries, within this book, are based on educational theory and practice that attempt to resolve various educational issues by indicating a variety of solution sets. Because its purpose is to stimulate reflective thought, Ask the Teacher is not for the passive reader but for one who desires a contextual intellectual discourse-a dialogue that promotes a genuinely reflective understanding of the diverse classroom in the 21st Century. Pre-service and new teachers.

My copy is the 1st edition. I bought it for one of my special education teaching courses but used it for a lot of my classes as a reference for all of those term papers I had to write. It includes a very descriptive table of contents, brief glossary, and a well written index.
