Using a multitude of examples from the working lives of teachers, this text propels students into the world of teaching by pairing rich examples and real-life stories with practical applications. Rather than taking a superior stance toward its readers, it meets them where they are in their professional development, anticipating and addressing questions about today's schools and students and what actually happens in the daily lives of today's teachers. While recognizing that becoming a teacher is hard work, this book also celebrates teaching as a satisfying journey filled with joy, happiness, laughter, and personal reward. Each chapter begins with the real-world perspective from a teacher that enhances the content of that chapter. All text content anticipates what teacher education candidates will need to know and be able to do on state licensure tests, keeping INTASC standards close at hand as a guide for readers and instructors.
