The scope of the text is large, in that it addresses both the “big
picture” of education, and the details and methods one uses when
teaching.
Michael P. O’Connor, Professor, Augusta State University, Augusta,
Georgia
The overall focus is practical, classroom-friendly methods grounded
in validated research. I think that this is very much in step with
the field, and furthermore should serve as a valuable reference for
students after they graduate and begin their teaching careers.
