Summary

This package includes the Revel access card.

Revel™ is Pearson’s newest way of delivering our respected content. Fully digital and highly engaging, Revel replaces the textbook and gives students everything they need for the course. Informed by extensive research on how people read, think, and learn, Revel is an interactive learning environment that enables students to read, practice, and study in one continuous experience – for less than the cost of a traditional textbook.

First-person stories and in-depth coverage of current issues help readers explore the world of teaching today
With a bright and engaging writing style that enlists the voices of experts as well as novices, Becoming a Teacher explores what it means to be a professional teacher in today’s climate of accountability, high-stakes testing, and changing legislation.

Becoming a Teacher embraces and articulates the changing field of education, outlining ways to be an agent of change in the profession, pinpointing meaningful uses of technology in education, clarifying the realities of diversity in the classroom, and clearly outlining past, present, and future thoughts on curriculum, instruction, assessment, management, philosophy, and issues in education. The down-to-earth and straightforward approach provides students with the tools and information necessary to answer the questions, “What does it take to become a high-quality teacher?” and “Do I want to teach?”

Fully revised, the 11th Edition focuses on teacher quality and provides in-depth coverage of critical issues such as the Every Student Succeeds Act; social justice and democracy; students of undocumented immigrant parents; teacher leadership, political activism, and change facilitation; Adverse Childhood Experiences and trauma-sensitive schools; and federal education agenda.
