Foundations of Education,
By Billie Miller (Bethel, MO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Foundations of Education: The Challenge of Professional Practice (Hardcover)
I have purchased several hundred dollars worth of books over the years for required reading in classes I have taken. I would have to say that this book is the "most for the money". It will be an excellent resource for me in the future. I plan to keep it as a reference in school-related matters. I only wish that I had had access to this material when I was first starting out as a teacher. The chapters are very well organized, and the visual aids (graphs, charts, pictures) were well selected and beneficial - the benchmark timelines helped to summarize several important events. The "Voices" sections in each chapter, featuring different viewpoints from real people on topics related to the chapter gave the somewhat lenthy, arduous chapters life and vitality. The inside cover of the book included educational issues included in the book. I found myself several times scanning through the list, thinking of my position on the matter. If there would be any fault of the book, I would have to say that the chapters could have been a little shorter. It seemed like a great deal of information to absorb. I would recommend this book for anyone interested in all aspects of education.

Foundations of Education,
By Leigh Anne Ford (Hannibal, MO) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Foundations of Education: The Challenge of Professional Practice (Hardcover)
This textbook is a clear, straightforward, and practical look at the principals of teaching today. I would highly recommend this text for any undergraduate working toward a degree in education or any professor looking for a new text for their Introduction to Education course. This is an excellent starting point for those who wish to learn more about the history of teaching as well as more current issues such as parental involvement or diversity in education. The authors have presented this information in a reader-friendly style with many helpful Web site addresses and personal narratives from experienced teachers in the field. Attractive charts and graphs presented throughout each chapter are also quite helpful in relating difficult concepts. Overall, this is a high quality undergraduate textbook for anyone wishing to enter the field of teaching.
