REVISED AND UPDATED GUIDE FOR PROSPECTIVE TEACHERS WITH INCREASED
DETAIL ABOUT THE REALITIES OF TEACHING IN A CHANGING DEMOGRAPHIC
SOCIETY, POST-PANDEMIC LIFE, SOCIETAL CHANGES BROUGHT ABOUT BY
TECHNOLOGY, AND THE CURRENT POLITICAL MOMENT IN EDUCATION.
Real challenges. Real choices. And very real consequences. That’s
what today's classrooms are about. That's why Marleen Pugach's
_Because Teaching Matters_, Third Edition depicts today's classrooms
as they truly are, while highlighting the enormous impact teachers
have on students' lives. The book is organized around five
professional commitments— learning from multiple sources of
knowledge, using the curriculum responsibly, practicing equity-minded
teaching, meeting the needs of individual students in the context of
the classroom and school community, and contributing actively to the
profession.
The third edition focuses on:
* The current landscape and challenges of supporting multi-racial,
multi-ethnic, multi-lingual and multi-ability classrooms across
socio-economic levels, and the relationships among students, families,
communities, and educators
* The latest academic approaches for teaching students who have
disabilities, leveraging modern classroom technology, the role of
legislation and funding, and updates on the current context of
teaching and teacher preparation
* New post-pandemic societal and educational contexts
* Classroom and school reflections on practice, written by current
teachers and teacher leaders in real classrooms and real schools,
showing authentic best practices in action.
Ideal for Foundations of Education and Introduction to Teaching
courses designed to provide preservice teachers with an overview of
the profession, _Because Teaching Matters_, Third Edition tells the
story of today's complex classrooms. It also drives home that, though
the decision to teach is a serious one, it is one that can be
extremely rewarding.
