Written by leading scholars from the Curry School of Education at University of Virginia, the Fourth Edition of Foundations of Education: The Challenge of Professional Practice presents a balance between the core topics in foundations their practical classroom application. Intended for pre-service teachers, this streamlined edition retains its comprehensive range of foundations topics while focusing on accessibility and relevance to pre-service teachers, as well as an emphasis on social issues and trends in schools. Exciting features focus on professional practice, technology, national standards, professional portfolios, and other topics. A new chapter on standards and assessment addresses the prevalence of these issues in teachers' lives. A bonus section on the Praxis Series and state licensure offers FAQs, test-taking tips, and practice questions.
