Synopsis
"Slavin writes in such a way that concepts are very clear and examples illustrating the concepts are engaging
and relevant." Karen Huxtable-J ester, University of Texas at Dallas "For the teacher candidate, who is often
encountering this material for the first time, the tables, organization, and formatting of the chapters make this text
eminently accessible." Richard Battaglia, California Lutheran University "The major strength of this text is its
relevance to effective teaching. Slavin touches on various approaches and types of teaching and the consistent
message of intentional teaching is evident." J oshua S. Smith, University at Albany This edition continues to have
in-depth, practical coverage with a focus on the intentional teacher. It presents up-to-the-minute research that a
reflective, intentional teacher can apply. The eighth edition of this popular text from renowned educational
psychologist Robert Slavin translates theory into practices that teachers can use in their classrooms and focuses
on the concept of intentionality. An "intentional teacher," according to Slavin, is one who constantly reflects on his
or her practice and makes instructional decisions based on a clear conception of how these practices affect
students. To help readers become "intentional teachers," the author models best practices through classroom
examples and offers questions to guide the reader. New to This Edition: NEW "Teaching Dilemmas" in all
chapters introduce controversial issues of practice and ask students to reflect on their own beliefs with Reflective
Questions. NEW "Certification Pointers" throughout the text note text content likely to appear on state
certification tests. NEW "Personal Reflections" describe chapter-related events from the author's own
experience, helping students relate to the text as the product of a real author's work. Updated throughout with
important new coverage on programs for English language learners (Chapter 4), technology and No Child Left
Behind (Chapter 9) to keep students abreast of current trends and issues. NEW IDEA updates are included in
Chapter 12. NEW certification guides for state-specific tests in California, Texas, New York, and Florida as well
as a general certification guide based on Praxis are available free with the text so that students can readily keep
and use this text to prepare for their state certification tests. Please visit the companion web site for this book at
