Looking in Classrooms uses educational, psychological, and social science theories and classroom-based research to teach future classroom teachers about the complexities and demands of classroom instruction. While maintaining the core approach of the first ten editions, the book has been thoroughly revised and updated with new research-based content on teacher evaluation, self-assessment, and decision-making; special emphases on teaching students from diverse ethnic, cultural, class, and gender-identity contexts; and rich suggestions for integrating technology into classroom instruction. Widely considered to be the most comprehensive and authoritative source available on effective, successful teaching, Looking in Classrooms synthesizes the knowledge base on student motivation, classroom management, teacher expectations, teacher effectiveness, adaptive instruction for individual learners, and informative observational techniques for enhancing teaching. It addresses key topics in classroom instruction in an accessible fashion, promoting easy intepretation and transfer to practice, and articulates the roles of teacher-centered pedagogy, student-centered instruction, and project-based learning in today‘s classroom. Guided by durable historical knowledge as well as dynamic, emerging conceptions of teaching, this text is ideal for undergraduate teacher training programs and for masters-level courses for teachers, administrators, and superintendents.

"Looking in Classrooms, a well-known and well-respected authoritative source, offers a class-tested examination of the means and ways teachers best develop into successful professionals. Specifically, this text synthesizes the growing knowledge base about teaching and provides research-based and reader-friendly summaries about effective classroom practices. Professors Thomas L. Good and Jere E. Brophy also enhance professional development by offering information, guidelines, and observational tools that enable teachers to become more reflective about their work and encourage them to seek feedback from colleagues and students." "Focusing on the basic and enduring attributes of the role of teachers, Looking in Classrooms emphasizes self-improvement and offers examples of outstanding classroom practices rather than merely suggesting "means of survival." Rich in examples and application suggestions, the book devotes particular attention to current issues, such as integrating traditional methods with constructivist, cooperative, and individualized learning methods; teaching classes of students who are heterogeneous in their achievement levels and cultural backgrounds; and collaborating with parents helping students who present chronic school adjustment problems."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
