Full Description
All New Real-Life Case Studies for Teachers is an up-to-date series of case studies or situations which can be used in both undergraduate and graduate teacher education classes, either as a main text or a supplementary text. In addition, it provides an excellent tool for in-service opportunities for experienced teachers at every level. Issues dealing with everything from the impact of the federal laws to choosing a graduate's first teaching job are included. Each situation outlines a problem that teachers could face at any level or in any subject matter.
Case studies have proven to be an important element in the education of professionals in areas such as law, accounting, business, as well as in school administration. Using this teaching technique for future teachers can only enhance their education.
