Description
This revised and updated version of An Introduction to Curriculum and Instruction is intended to be a clear, down-to-earth resource for students in teacher preparation programs. Primarily designed for supporting teaching and learning in generic introductory curriculum and instruction courses, the book is also intended as a source of practical suggestions for use during practicum experiences, in further C & I courses, and early career teaching. An Introduction to Curriculum and Instruction contains information about curriculum, lesson planning, instructional strategies, and classroom management. The aim is to provide students with a low-cost basic resource containing the research-based, programrelevant, and up-to-date information student teachers need to be successful in teacher education and beyondÑmany students have found earlier versions of this book a useful resource throughout their education program. Ultimately, I anticipate that this small book will not only enhance your own professional learning, but also the learning and quality of classroom life for your future students.
