      Book Description

      Combining the brevity of a streamlined Introduction to Education text with the support package of a much more expensive book, the brief edition of Teachers, Schools, and Society encourages experienced instructors to explore their own creativity while ensuring that newer faculty can teach the course with confidence. David Sadker’s and Karen Zittleman’s lively writing style captures the joys and challenges of teaching. The text stresses the importance of fairness and justice in school and society, focuses on the most crucial topic areas, and integrates the most current issues in education. In addition, the wealth of activities included--from online video observations to portfolio-building exercises--offers a broad range of ways to introduce students to the teaching profession.

      Customer Reviews:

      5 out of 5 stars New First Edition.......2006-02-23

      The other reviews for this are for the old edition and not the Brief Introduction to Education, so please be aware that the date of the reviews is before this text was published.

      In reading the other reviews, it was obvious that the reviewers missed the point of the text--it is to be used in an introductory course, not in a course where preservice or practicing teachers would be designing lessons and units.

      This text provides a great overview of the educational issues and problems that someone contemplating becoming a teacher needs to know about before investing time, energy, and money into obtaining certification. The brief version is much better, more up-to-date and student friendly than the original text by Sadker and Sadker.

      For anyone contemplating being a teacher, the issues presented in this text may help you decide if you really have what it takes to be a classroom teacher. It gives an overview of the political, economic, and social issues facing educators as well as the historic perspective of American Education.

      Well worth the cost.

      2 out of 5 stars Mediocre at best.......2004-11-24

      I am no educational research expert, but the Sadkers seem to have a very left-wing political slant in their presentation of "the facts". Their so called "You be the judge" and other controversial issue discussions often give both sides without any evidence behind the various points of view, leading the reader to believe that they are equally valid.

      The book isn't particularly useful either when it comes to seeking real world advice on lesson planning, disciplinary procedures, or how a mere teacher can make his/her voice heard on the school district board to effect change. It's highly theory-based and speaks in very general terms. This is characteristic however, of many published pieces in the genre. Facts, figures, and charts are prominent and welcomed, but are few and far between.

      Overpriced for little content.

      3 out of 5 stars Teachers, Schools, and Society.......2002-01-30

      The seller of this book was not upfront in her business dealings. I needed the 5th edition, and she put the ISBN # for the 4th. Consequently I ended up paying an outrageous amount for an out of date book. The content of the book is good, but inn comparison with the current edition doesn't compare with the quality.

      4 out of 5 stars How effective are our teachers today........2000-09-14

      The book was very detailed. We used in our college class and it really has very interesting, upto date information. It tells us how to teach, can teaching be taught or is it an art or science. The book also tells us about pedagy and we discussed adrogogy as well.

        Book Description

        This revised and expanded edition of Paul W. Justice's popular text provides a straightforward, accessible introduction to the basics of linguistics for education students and all non-linguistics majors, covering the essentials of phonetics, phonology, morphology, morpho-phonology, and syntax. While this overview is accessible to any student, Justice's text will be of particular use in teacher training programs, many of which now expose trainees to these topics in order to cope with rising linguistic diversity in classrooms.

        Each chapter of Relevant Linguistics leads students through descriptive analysis, helps them grasp linguistic concepts, and provides them with the reference materials necessary for their own teaching. This second edition contains more exercises as well as expanded and clarified explanations of the issues discussed in the first edition. Also included are more references to areas such as the history of English and semantics.

        Customer Reviews:

        5 out of 5 stars Excellent Instructor writes excellent text.......2007-03-09

        The book is easy to read, easy to understand, and has challenging exercises in Linguistics. It is well written, and if you get a chance I highly recommend taking a course in Linguistics with Justice. He is a helpful, easy to talk to instructor.

        5 out of 5 stars Perfect for high school teachers.......2005-07-15

        Faced with the challenge of teaching a ninth grade linguistics course, I looked long and hard for books that could help me. Almost all linguistic texts are hundreds of pages long and pitched at way too complex a level. In this one, though, Paul Justice tells you exactly what you need to know, distilling but not oversimplifying the subject. The book is designed so that you can effectively teach yourself, with exercises and good examples throughout. Justice is a clear writer and explicator, revisiting important topics when appropriate, so that you see connections, and he always remembers to explain why what he's teaching you is relevant in a high school classroom. And like the best linguistics books, it's fun. My only complaint is that the on-line solutions to the exercises are only available to teachers who adopt the text for their classes. All in all, though, this book is a definite find.

        5 out of 5 stars Great textbook for Linguistics students.......2003-11-28

        This textbook is a great source for both undergrad and grad students. No other books explain phonology, morphology, and syntax better than this one. All the chapters are carefully designed to help learners understand better. I strongly recommend this book to any students who are interested in Linguistics.

          Book Description

          Offering a unique introduction to the historical person Jesus of Nazareth, respected New Testament scholar William Herzog traces the history of discussion and scholarship of the historical Jesus, including that of the recent and very public Jesus Seminar. He does so, however, with an eye toward the theological. No other introduction is tied so closely to the biblical texts. He asks, "What difference does the historical Jesus make in our understanding of the gospels?" and, correspondingly, "What difference should this Jesus make in our lives today?" By exploring in depth Jesus' words—the parables—and Jesus' deeds—miracles, Herzog presents a holistic picture of Jesus that will explain how Jesus' followers would have understood his miracles and his role as prophet. With its accessibility and clear connections to what the gospels are saying, Prophet and Teacher will appeal to general readers with little theological background and be a popular primary text in undergraduate and seminary classes.

          From the back of the book:
          Offering a unique introduction to the historical person Jesus of Nazareth, the author, a respected New Testament scholar, traces the history of discussion and scholarship of the historical Jesus, including that of the recent and very public Jesus Seminar. He does so, however, with an eye toward the theological. No other introduction is tied so closely to the biblical texts. He asks, "What difference does the historical Jesus make in the understanding of the Gospels?" and, correspondingly, "What difference should this Jesus make in lives today?" By exploring in depth Jesus' words-the parables-and Jesus' deeds-miracles, he presents a holistic picture of Jesus that will explain how Jesus' followers would have understood his miracles and his role as prophet. With its accessibility and clear connections to what the Gospels are saying, this book is an excellent introduction for general readers and students.
