5.0 out of 5 stars Great for school administrators, December 22, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Looking in Classrooms (8th Edition) (Textbook Binding)

I have used this book both as a college lecturer and as a public school principal/administrator. It ties research directly into classroom practice and provides numerous methods and ideas for having instructional conversations with teachers.

This review is from: Looking in Classrooms (10th Edition) (Paperback)

...a book on effective classroom teaching that mixes classroom management with a constructivist and classroom community approach.

Wonderful. Dewey would be so satisfied by this.

Everything else you could need is included from theory to practical vignettes to handling specific classroom issues (not just behavioral).

It could have used pictures--it didn't have any--,but we can't always have what we want.

The information is wonderful sans the pics. Please check it out!
