Presents practical, research-based teaching practices for engaging students in the learning process, increasing student achievement, and managing the classroom. "Over the past year, I tool part in an accelerated teacher training course at Muskingum College in Ohio. One of our textbooks was Effective Teaching Methods, Sixth Edition. I read your book cover -to-cover to prepare for the Praxis II PLT exam. It gave me the confidence and information necessary to do well on the exam. I have recently signed a contract to teach high school science and plan to keep your book close at hand to use as a reference." -- Chrstine Huth Muskingum Collge Student
