Designed for beginning teachers, CLASSROOM TEACHING SKILLS, Tenth Edition, conceptualizes the effective teacher as a reflective decision maker, responsible for planning, implementing, evaluating, and making management decisions in the classroom. Each chapter considers a particular teaching skill, first discussing the theory behind it, and then presenting the reader with practice situations in which knowledge about the skill can be applied and evaluated. The Tenth Edition continues to address the importance of core InTASC standards (matched with learning objectives for each chapter), while incorporating more extensive coverage on technology, Common Core State Standards, and working with English Language Learners. In addition, new Voices from the Classroom and Case Study features help readers better understand the issues they may encounter as teachers.
