The fourth edition of Introduction to Teaching: Making a Difference in Student Learning is the ideal text for aspiring teachers, a text grounded in the realities and complexities of today's schools. Acclaimed authors Gene E. Hall, Linda F. Quinn, and Donna M. Gollnick thoroughly prepare students to make a difference as teachers, presenting first-hand stories and evidence-based practices while offering a student-centered approach to learning. The authors focus on how to address one of the biggest challenges facing many of today's schools-making sure that all students are learning-and help teachers make student learning the primary focus in all that they do. From true-to-life challenges that teachers will face (reduced funding, low retention, changing standards) to the inspiration and joy they will discover throughout their teaching careers, this text paints a realistic picture of the real life of a teacher in a post-pandemic era.
