From theories of learning, language, and literacy to the classroom realities in today's schools. Comprehensive, theoretically sound, and practical, this text captures what students need to know in order to enter today's secondary English classrooms with confidence, while engaging students with purposeful, dynamic lessons. Appreciated as more than a general introduction to English education, this is a textbook that students take from their college coursework into their own classrooms as the anchor reference source in their professional libraries. While clarifying and expanding on the information in the previous editions, this new edition addresses new developments in the field of English education, of education generally, and of the culture, particularly issues relating to today's diverse students, mounting pressures of accountability, and the use of technology in teaching and learning. Each chapter presents conceptual frameworks, a multitude of tested teaching activities, and invitations to reflect on both. Included are chapter organizers, numerous boxed figures, tables, teaching activities, invitations to reflect, and an exhaustive index. The result is a book that is easily accessible for the new teacher just building an instructional foundation, and for the established teacher searching for new ways to enliven the classroom. New to this Edition: Features the experience, knowledge, and sensibilities of a young, new author, Joan F. Mitchell, who shares her recent experience in secondary and college teaching, particularly in the areas of writing instruction and the educational applications of technology in reading and writing. Deletions and additions to this edition address new currents in today's student population, the field itself, and in schooling in our society.
