Teaching is an ongoing learning process. Readers committed to improving their effectiveness in the use of class time will find practical ways to improve their practice. In a conversational style, co-authors Anna J. Small Roseboro and Susan B. Steffel share successful strategies based on their decades of experience in diverse settings. Woven into the methods, materials, and management strategies for teaching reading are the contributions of eighteen others from across the nation with experience teaching adult students in a range of courses, settings, cities, and states. Readers will gain insight to "engage, empower, and elevate" themselves as educators as they meet the varied needs of their students.
