Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
Appropriate for Middle and High School Methods courses. This unique new entry into the middle and high school methods market offers an intimate, first-person approach with an emphasis on reflective teaching. Four types of reader activities in the chapters, as well as biography, teaching philosophy and portfolio activities make this a practical text rich in applications. Teaching is portrayed as a process of ongoing learning, growth and development and a strong emphasis is placed on multiculturalism and diversity. While most books tend to take a more traditional, skills-based approach, Contexts of Teaching presents teaching methods from a constructivist, inquiry perspective consistent with current educational trends.

Okay, I am sitting in the library right now and loving this book so much that I wanted to weigh in on it at Amazon. It is the fifth book like this that I have read and it is the best of the lot so I just wanted to share my opinion.
About me: I am a fifth year HS science teacher who is okay at teaching but really unhappy with my planning and how to motivate the students. I turn to these books once in awhile hoping for some inspriration. I have just spent about an hour reading Chapter 9, Implementing Instruction and have learned about Ausubel's "Advance Organizers", some suggestions for closure of a lesson, and two relevant, well-chosen biographical anecdotes from teachers.
I think this book is better than the other ones like it I read, including the one we had to read in Ed School.

Unless you are forced to read this book for a class my recommendation would be to avoid it at all costs. There is precious little useful information or guidance for the prospective teacher.
