This popular standard is everything a methods book for grades 7-12 should be: practical, concise, research-based, and user-friendly. The authors' beliefs about what teaching should be and what good teachers should do form the bedrock upon which a full complement of effective methods is built. Basic to the book is the idea that teaching skills can be learned: content is organized around four developmental components involved in becoming a competent teacher—the why, what, how, and how well of teaching. Whatever one teaches, children will always need to know how to learn, how to read, and how to think productively, work cooperatively, and communicate effectively. This book shows future teachers how to teach precisely that. A four-part organization covers orientation to teaching and learning in today's secondary schools; planning for instruction; strategies, aids, media, and resources for effective instruction; and assessment and continuing professional development.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Good summary,
By Katrina Lane (Vermont) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Secondary School Teaching: A Guide to Methods and Resources (3rd Edition) (Paperback)
In my first year of teaching and enrolled full time in college I have very little time to wrestle with textbooks! I found this book to be very detailed for the amount of material it covers. The worksheets aren't essential, but could be good for someone who is not in a classroom every day. Good coverage--addressing the eternal question of depth vs. breadth, and it does well enough at both!

This review is from: Secondary School Teaching: A Guide to Methods and Resources (2nd Edition) (Paperback)
The book is a decent resource, covering planning, styles of instruction, and assessment. It includes useful exercises that send students into the educational community to get a closer look at how things are done in local schools.
