A must for professionally-trained teachers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
After 30 years of teaching, I was looking for a book that would help me evaluate my teaching experiences as well as give me some new perspectives and ideas. This excellent collection of the findings of recent research based on Vygotsky's brilliant work has provided me with both great insight and appreciation of my teaching career as well as the verification of my teaching instincts and the determination to follow through on what I feel are the best methods to use when teaching in today's multi-cultural learning environments.
