[This] is a core text for Introduction to Teaching and Foundations of Education courses taught within teacher preparation programs. Not only does this text explore the knowledge, attitudes, behaviors, and skills of good teachers, but also it provides [an] understandable, realistic, and foundational background in the field of education and teaching as a profession. Many real-life examples of schools, programs, classrooms, and teachers allow readers to explore the many dimensions of education and schooling in America. This approach enables future teachers to make the transition from thinking about being a teacher to identifying with the profession as an active, confident participant. [This book] is organized around the key theme of active and interactive learning based on personal reflection and provides many opportunities for decision making, creative problem solving, and peer collaboration.
