Overview
If you think that Teachers, Schools, and Society was
written to introduce you to the world of teaching,
you are only half right. This book also reflects our
excitement about a life in the classroom and is
intended to spark your own fascination about working
with children. We wrote this book to share with you
the joys and the challenges we feel about teaching, as
well as the importance of fairness and justice in school
and society. With this ninth edition, our goals remain
the same as those of previous editions. We work hard to
provide you with information that is both current and
concise, and we work even harder to create an engaging
book—one that will give you a sense of the wonderful
possibilities found in a career in the classroom.
Teachers, Schools, and Society is designed for
introductory courses in education. The primary intent
of such a course is to provide a broad yet detailed
exposure to the realities of teaching and the role of
education in our society. The text will help you answer
important questions such as: Do I want to become a
teacher? What do I need to become the best teacher
possible? What should a professional in the field of
education know? To help you answer those questions,
we offer a panoramic and (we hope) stimulating view
of education.
