Models of teaching

Covering the rationale and research on the major models of teaching, this work illustrates K-12 classroom use through scenarios and examples of instructional materials. New chapters to this edition include "Concepts, Cognitions, and Constructivism" which connects the book to recent research on student construction of knowledge and metacognition; and "Social Inquiry Models of Teaching", which features an approach to global literacy that has been tested in a number of school systems.
