<br/><br/> ""We have not sought in this book, to define 'best practice' for you, but have rather, challenged you to think about ways in which to teach intelligently, insightfully and respectfully."--How does a teacher deal with a student's challenging behaviour in the classroom?- Is it fair to adopt information and communication technologies that favour students who have access to sophisticated devices such as tablets in their own home?- How, during the professional experience, is an education student to act when his or her beliefs about learning are not congruent with those of the supervising teacher?- Should students be grouped in terms of their ability?These and many more issues arise daily in our early childhood, primary and secondary learning environments. Teaching, 6e takes a holistic approach to classroom teaching and learning. It considers the complexities and opportunities embedded in meeting learners' needs in diverse and ever-changing contexts. It encourages pre-service teachers to become active learners of teaching, how to think like teachers and to consider the fundamental aspects of teaching. It directs pre-service teachers to useful teaching resources, in text, in references and online. Case studies and reflection opportunities encourage pre-service teachers to consider their own strengths and issues, the diversity of learning styles in their students, their school and wider community as well as government and ethical requirements. It raises student awareness of what it really means to teach and how they can do it. Students will continue to refer to this well-researched and easy-to-use text throughout their qualification, in their professional placement and into their teaching career."--Publisher's website
