Download or read book History Education 101 written by Wilson J. Warren and published by IAP. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historians and teacher educators nationwide are now engaged in discussions about the importance of history teacher preparation. Interest within the history profession about the teaching of K-12 history has increased significantly during the past two decades, particularly since the controversy over the National Standards for History’s publication. This attention is evident not only in the historical professions’ various publications, but also in the federal government’s multi-million dollar Teaching American History Program and the No Child Left Behind Act. Professional historians are increasingly committed to improving the teaching of history at the K-12 level through many forms of collaboration. History Education 101’s thirteen essays are organized into three sections: context, practice, and new directions. The essays’ contributors, tenured faculty who teach history teaching methods courses in colleges and universities throughout the United States, focus on how history education has, is, and will be taught to new K-12 teachers throughout the United States. Perhaps more than ever, it is critical for Americans to understand the role of higher education in the preparation of future middle and high school history teachers. This book provides important insights for academics in history and education departments as well as other individuals who are concerned with the status and improvement of history teaching in the schools, particularly current and future elementary and secondary teachers and administrators.

Download or read book 101 Ways to Win in Teaching in Secondary School written by Gurdeep Singh and published by Brilliant Publications. This book was released on 2024-04-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experienced teacher, Gurdeep Singh, provides practical tips and strategies for secondary school teachers to help them manage classroom behaviour, reduce their workload and improve their own wellbeing. Full of humorous anecdotes of the author's teaching successes (and some failures), this book will be invaluable for ECTs and anyone else who is struggling to remember why they went into teaching in the first place. Gurdeep truly believes that teaching is the best profession in the world and, if you are feeling a bit overwhelmed, this book will help you to discover (or rediscover) a love of teaching. The book provides practical, easy-to-use tips on how to build positive relationships, improve classroom behaviour and win over even the most difficult of classes. Tips include advice on seating plans, body language, getting support from other teachers and how to deal with challenging students in a non-confrontational and positive way. New teachers often struggle with the workload. Gurdeep's practical suggestions for cutting down planning and marking time and dealing with everything from being a form tutor to parents' evenings, will help teachers to get their evenings and weekends back. The first few years of teaching are the most difficult. Having to deliver four or five hours of lessons each day is exhausting, both physically and mentally. When this is combined with planning, report writing, marking work and responding to parents, it is not surprising that a third of teachers quit in the first five years of teaching. 101 Ways to Win in Teaching in Secondary School provides a manual to help new teachers get through those first years and start to thrive in teaching.
