School: An Introduction to Education
By Edward S. Ebert, II, Richard C. Culyer, III
About your course materials
Interstate Teacher Assessment and Support Consortium (InTASC) standards state that teachers are expected to be reflective, knowledgeable, highly skilled, and creative professionals who are lifelong learners, and who have the ability to think critically about a multitude of issues. With, SCHOOL: AN INTRODUCTION TO EDUCATION, Third Edition, authors Edward Ebert and Richard Culyer have developed a compelling and timely approach that presents teacher-candidates with a thorough overview of what it means to be an effective professional educator. The authors engage both the critical and creative thinking of teacher-candidates while encouraging discussion, reflection, and participation in the educational enterprise. First-person accounts and helpful strategies from prominent educators and in-service teachers, along with TeachSource Videos and activities linked to InTASC standards, provide insight into the realities of being a teacher in today's rapidly changing society. The result is a book that empowers teacher-candidates as pre-professionals and, ultimately, as instructional leaders.

Award-winning TeachSource Video Cases are integrated into the chapters with a special feature called "Step into the Classroom." Available at Education CourseMate, the book's website, the videos show actual teachers and their students in action--allowing your students to see how the material in the text is put to practice in the real world.
An innovative Case Study feature asks readers to review detailed background information on six students and then choose one of the students to follow from chapter to chapter. Each case installment presents new information about each of the children, followed by questions that require readers to critically examine their own thinking about educational issues and analyze data for each of the children as the basis for making educational decisions. Cases are based on actual children and were prepared by classroom teachers from around the country.
Improved "Unit Workshop: Getting in Shape for Praxis" sections at the conclusion of each unit provides a Quick Check Quiz in the form of a series of multiple-choice questions (keyed by page number to the text) for the topics that have been presented in each chapter of the unit. These questions provide your students with practice for the PRAXIS series or other teacher certification examination. The Unit Workshop also includes unit-oriented exercises for continuing with the Case Studies in Education activities.
Chapter-opening "Ice Breaker" activities encourage creative thinking and draw students into the content of the chapter. These and other in-text activities, some requiring Internet research, promote critical thinking and reflection in the context of important chapter concepts.
