| Description |
With a reader-friendly writing style and frequent opportunities for reflection, this text is designed to help students in beginning teacher-education courses develop a clear understanding of all aspects of teaching as a career.
Though some students in these introductory courses have already made a commitment to the profession, most are just beginning to explore the roles and responsibilities of teaching to see if the profession is a good match for them. The Teaching Experience: An Introduction to Reflective Practice is aimed at these students, offering them tools to make the right career choice: a wealth of well-organized and clearly presented information on key topics in education; opportunities to learn about both the joys and difficulties teachers encounter on a daily basis; and encouragement to stop and reflect on schooling issues, both individually and with others.
With an engaging writing style that speaks directly to individual readers, The Teaching Experience continually challenges those considering teaching as a career to think critically and deeply about the abilities and attitudes of exemplary educators and compare them with their own. This process of “active reflection” is central to the book’s approach.
