Elements of Successful TeachingCriticism of our schools may be at an all-time high! One common complaint is that the objectives of education need to be more precisely defined. Dr. Barbara Bateman provides a research-based strategy that defines classroom best practices in a concise and practical text. Teachers begin by establishing an objective, then organize content through task analyses. Then teachers do what they do best, teach. The effectiveness of instruction is evaluated and either the objective is attained (rejoice) or you teach again (recycle). The book takes a discerning look at the impact of IDEA and NCLB in everyday teaching. Dr. Bateman believes that this technique can positively refocus educators in terms of what they teach and how they teach it. Softbound, 105 pgs., 2003. ISBN 1-57861-502-X |
