A new entry in methods texts, Teaching Methods for Today's Schools: Collaboration and Inclusion, moves teaching to a new dimension by integrating well documented instructional strategies with important new concepts of public school education. Collaboration, inclusion, reflective teacher behavior, and community involvement are infused throughout the book to show preservice teachers how to collaboratively plan, implement, and evaluate instruction with school age learners. Useful features help students integrate theory with practice, such as positive and negative profiles that begin each chapter, practice sections following instructional strategies, and extended activities at the end of each chapter.
