Designed for the general methods course, The Act of Teaching provides comprehensive content coverage related to understanding oneself as a teacher. It provides an understanding of one's students and how they learn and understanding of what is known about the act of teaching.

The NEW sixth edition of The Act of Teaching:
  • Contains material drawn from Educational Testing Service Praxis II Standards and INTASK studies of what pre-service teachers should know and be able to do, and National Board for Professional Teaching Standards of what competent experienced teachers are like.
  • Contains the most up-to-date knowledge base about the teaching profession.
  • Provides students with the explicit, step-by-step guidance needed to get them up-and-running as practitioners of the most commonly used teaching strategies: presentation, discussion, independent study, cooperative learning, discovery learning, direct instruction, and individualized instruction.
  • Presents thorough and up-to-date coverage of major topics such as instructional planning, maintaining time-on-task, monitoring, questioning, assuring clarity, classroom management and assessment, and providing reinforcement and corrective feedback.
  • The text emphasizes the development of concrete pedagogical skills, and includes an entire section (the ""Practice Teaching Manual"") with activities and application experiences to practice, evaluate, and refine one's professional performance.
