EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATIONS, Second Edition, explains today's schools for those who are trying to picture themselves within the education profession. If you're like many college students taking their first education course, you may not see how foundations topics connect to your future careers. This book addresses that “disconnect” by making educational foundations topics relevant and personally meaningful-while also offering the comprehensive scope, scholarly depth, and conceptual analysis of contemporary issues that will help you understand the field and transition smoothly into your career. This new edition prepares you for your future with a greater emphasis on InTASC and Common Core State Standards, and incorporates a number of features that allow you to gain a realistic and insightful view of the education profession.Important Notice: Media content referenced within the product description or the product text may not be available in the ebook version.
