Summary
Summary
Fielstein and Phelps present a unique and realistic approach to the fundamentals of teaching as a career. Not only are the rewards of teaching established and explored, but also the challenges educators' face in the classroom. The text also introduces students to the larger topics of the education discipline, such as history, philosophy, learning theory, teaching techniques, assessment, and classroom management. Its primary goal is to help serve as a "pump" for promising future teachers and a "filter" for those who should possibly choose a different career.
