PREFACE
As its primary purpose, this textbook provides a practical, concise, criterion-referenced, performancebased, mastery learning model for college or university students who are in a general secondary or
middle school methodology course or in the field component of teacher education. The chapter and part organization of this textbook shows instructors of methods courses how to provide enough basic
instruction that they can individualize their instruction and devote their time and attention to specific learning activities. Others who will find this textbook useful are experienced middle and secondary
in-service teachers who desire to continue developing their teaching skills and curriculum specialists and school administrators who desire to have a current, practical, and concise methodology textbook
for reference. In fact, many educators have added this textbook to their professional libraries.
New to This Edition
Chapter 2, Middle and Secondary Schools Today and Tomorrow: Reform Efforts, Challenges and Issues, and Trends and Practices, which was new to the 10th edition, was updated for the
11th edition to include current information on the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) initiative in general and the challenges with implementation, the criticism plaguing the testing procedures,
and the controversy surrounding the rejection of the CCSS. In addition, updates on the charter school movement and specialized academies for gifted and talented students were added to the
various types of middle and secondary schools highlighted in this chapter, as was an explanation of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) education.
Chapter 3, Middle and Secondary School Students: Addressing Cultural Diversity, was updated to include current demographic trends in the middle and secondary school populations and to provide a more in-depth discussion of how best to meet the needs of gifted and talented students in the regular classroom as well as expand on information on second-language acquisition theories and how that knowledge helps regular classroom teachers best meet the needs of English Language Learners.
Chapter 7, Designing Lesson and Unit Plans to Engage All Students, was new to the 10th edition and emphasizes the importance of learning how to design lesson and unit plans that respond to the needs of all students. The three new lesson plans added here address the Common Core State Standards in English/Language Arts and Mathematics. In addition, the lesson plan titled “From Lynching Tree to Healing Circle” uses numerous primary source documents to demonstrate how educators can approach historical harm trauma history with an opportunity to engage students around America’s history in racism.
Chapter 10, Educational Technology, Media, Computer-Based Instructional Tools, and Other Resources was revised to include updates on resources/materials/tools covered in the 10th edition, in addition to adding a variety of new Web 2.0 Technology Tools and describing the transformation that has taken place between Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 in educational contexts.
Chapter 12, Reflecting on Teaching Practices and Engaging in Professional Development, includes information on the comprehensive and coherent Danielson Framework for Teaching, which identifies those aspects of a teacher’s responsibilities, as well as new Teaching Scenarios designed to help teachers work with school leaders effectively and develop their professional identity.
In keeping with the book’s title, we have continued to strive for an improved balance of content between middle and secondary schools by emphasizing the middle school as uniquely different from both the high school and the traditional junior high school.
We have continued to promote a multicultural education philosophy that is infused throughout the book with an emphasis on meeting the needs of diverse learners. There is an emphasis on how best to promote educational equity and social justice by meeting the academic and social needs of all adolescent students.
New technologies are integrated throughout all chapters and included in chapter features.
New features, including Teaching Scenarios, Activities, and Lesson Plans, were added.
New contributions from pre-service and in-service middle and secondary school teachers, teacher educators, and educational scholars and researchers have been added to strengthen the tie between
theory and practice.
Updated Internet references and resources appear in every chapter.
Lesson and unit plans from a variety of disciplines have been included. Updates from former contributors have also been added, as have descriptions of the contributors’ educational journeys and
extensions to their lesson and unit plans.
New activities allow students to expand their knowledge on relevant topics and issues.
Updated exercises are provided for students to complete outside of the classroom.
Throughout the book, we consistently provide information useful for teachers and the numerous decisions they must make on a daily basis. How best to integrate technology is infused throughout the
book. Meaningful Teaching Scenarios highlight challenges that middle and secondary school classroom teachers face. We also provide frequent exercises and in-class activities for practice in handling
concepts in ways that facilitate metacognitive thinking. All exercises and activities require the user to deal in some descriptive, analytical, or self-reflective manner with text concepts and actual practice.
Most exercises and in-class activities are adaptable for cooperative or collaborative group processing.
