Description and Table of Contents
Description
This text presents teaching as a dynamic, integrated profession. Each chapter delineates, in an analytical and practical manner, how professional teachers can most effectively utilize their unique abilities to bring out the best in the students they teach. The "professional practice" theme utilizes five questions in the opening of each chapter which encourage students to percieve, value, know, act and evaluate - the five steps to meeting the challenge of professional practice. Activities at the end of each chapter reinforce the five-step process for students. An instructor's edition is also available (0-205-16356-4).
