This substantially revised third edition represents one of the most up-to-date research-based methods texts available today. Kauchak and Eggen organize their discussion around three important themes in education: diversity, motivation, and technology. Coverage of new realities in the classroom, such as using social interaction, fostering resilience in at-risk students, and inclusion help new teachers face responsibilities being asked of them. Solidly grounded in research, the text describes practical methods in a clear, readable manner with numerous cases and offers suggestions for applying those methods in today's diverse school environments.
