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 book is a refreshing book for students because it is written in an easy to read manner. It nicely outlines the content. It has great content and examples.

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.

The book is not the edition "required" for the class, but it works just great for me! And at about $120 cheaper than the new editions, I don't mind it not being the same edition. The book came super quick...quicker than the estimated time even said. It was also in great condition.

Well, if you want a book to bore you to tears, this one would certainly make the cut. There are probably books on secondary education that read better, but I had to get this one because it was for a class, and I doubt anyone would want it for any other reason. It's not fun to read, take it from a reader.

I was very disappointed with this textbook. It seems that the authors have crammed the book full of as much information as possible whether it is useful or not. There are a few good parts in the book, but you have to wade through so much irrelevant, wordy garbage that it isn't worth it to find the few gems.

It really isn't necessary to have 6 paragraphs on cell phones in schools. I didn't need a book to tell me that I shouldn't leave my valuables lying around the classroom. The book instructs teachers not to touch electrical cords with wet hands.

If you can't figure this stuff out on your own, then you aren't fit to run a cash register, let alone a classroom.

The book itself is fine. I ordered it because it is a required textbook.

It should be an inexpensive book considering its physical quality (almost coloring book quality paper).

Some sections are straight forward but the theories can be incredibly dry. I've started marking, circling, highlighting and underlining important information; otherwise, like my classmates, I get to the bottom of the page and don't remember what I've read.

I've found it useful to highlight using pencil highlighters (aka "bible highlighters").

This book is fine, but don't order from --TEXTBOOKSRUS--, because they slap a huge, ugly sticker on the front cover, the title page and the copyright page. Don't try to remove the stickers, because that just makes things worse.

All in all, not a bad book. It has useful information; just watch the Marketplace vendor --TEXTBOOKSRUS--.

EXCELLENT MATERIAL, EXCELLENT TIME OF DELIVERY, EXCELLENT CONDITION, AND GREAT PRICE! I WILL WILL FOR SURE ORDER ANOTHER BOOK FROM THIS COMPANY!!!

Considering how long it took me to get around to ordering my textbooks, I was pleasantly surprised to receive my book so promptly and in such great condition.

it came on time. was what i expected. great book for secondary ed. teachers. :D
