Teaching as Decision Making: Successful Practices for the Secondary Teacher, Second Edition

Summary: Teaching as Decision Making
Review: No other book in my undergraduate studies better prepared me for the real world of teaching. Time and again I refer to this book to pull out an idea, reassure myself as to what I am doing in my classroom or guide myself through the tangled web of a secondary classroom. Its insight into the everyday world of teaching and how best to prepare our young people for the challenges of the real world has helped me to be a better educator. I recommend this book to anyone teaching in a secondary classroom. It is empowering to the real teachers of the real curriculum in America showing the reader that powerful decisions rest with the teacher in the trenches and not the curriculum guru at the publishing house.
