Publisher's Synopsis
This casebook features 15 cases, each one documenting a particular classroom event or series of related events, and most ending with a dilemma that the teacher must resolve. A range of ideas can be suggested and critically evaluated and a plan of action can be developed with fallback positions available. The case discussions give students the opportunity to develop a consistent problem-solving method that they can later apply to various classroom situations.;The teacher's edition contains an introductory essay on case study teaching that includes advice about such topics as room arrangement, starting and ending the discussion, using the chalkboard, questioning/listening/responding and managing time. Detailed teaching notes are provided for each case which include blocks of discussion, suggested question outlines, suggested board headings and suggested assignment questions.
