Book excerpt: Is teaching for me? Who will I teach? How can I make a difference? Teach is a vibrant and engaging Introduction to Education textbook, organized around real questions students ask themselves and their professors as they consider a career in teaching. Using vivid and contemporary examples, veteran teacher educator James W. Fraser continually encourages readers to reflect on their experiences and engage in a dialogue about the most current issues in education. The thoroughly updated third edition includes fully rewritten chapters, including one discussing the current debates about classroom discussions of race and sexuality and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on schools and another on today’s newest technologies and their impact on teachers and schools. In each chapter, newly selected primary source readings provide students with the latest in education-related scholarship and integrates the intellectual foundations of education throughout each chapter, offering scholarly and current content in a student-friendly format. Features and updates include: • In a new, thoroughly revised and up-to-date but also much more compact version, the third edition of the popular Teach textbook for basic courses in a teacher education program invites aspiring teachers and the simply curious to ponder many of the most essential questions of what a career in teaching might look like in the next decades of the 21st century. • Up-to-date coverage of new legislation and school policies that impact teachers including debates about discussions on race and Critical Race Theory, sexuality and the importance of LGBTQ+ history and current rights that influence curricula, school policies, and teachers' free-speech rights, with particular emphasis on the declining role of the Common Core State Standards. • A completely rewritten Chapter 8 offers an up-to-the-minute overview of how technology can help improve and challenge teachers and teaching. • Features such as “Teachable Moment” and “Notes from the Field” encourage readers—through a variety of prompts and exercises—to reflect on their own educational experiences and goals, and challenge prospective teachers to imagine themselves in similar situations. • Short chapters and digestible sections provide an approach and format to reach students without compromising on high-quality content. • The concluding chapter explores the question, “Where do I go from here?” to help prospective teachers develop a plan for their career and design a personal philosophy to guide them. Teach presents an overview of the field in a way sure to keep students reading and gives those with questions about teaching the tools and information they need to continue a rich dialogue about their possible careers.
