The Educator's Field Guide
From Organization to Assessment (And Everything in Between)



June 2012 | 240 pages | Corwin
Targeted for pre-service and in-service teachers, this book is a guide to "what to do and how to do it in a very practical sense." It addresses four essential topics: organizing and planning for instruction, classroom management, instructional techniques, and assessment. Each of the areas is addressed in a user-friendly, resource-style format, and includes activities and templates to provide readers with a framework for developing their own styles. Coverage of the four main topics is arranged in sub-topics that follow a five-step format of conceptualization, content, planning, implementation, and reflection.
