The text uses multiple sources to provide high interactivity, while the authors' direct, conversational voice invites students to reflect on the problems and satisfactions of teaching. This edition delves deeply into national, state, and local educational policies to familiarize teachers with the impact that policy will have on their everyday lives in classrooms.
