This book breaks the mold of traditional secondary methods textsReaders will feel empowered as they connect and apply content through the "guidelines" and "step-by-step procedures" sections in each chapter. The succinct chapter reviews, graphic organizers and bullets make this text reader-friendly. The balance of these great attributes makes it a practical and long-awaited resource.

I am pleased to see this text retains its strong focus on lesson design in its second edition. Instructional Strategies for Middle and High School serves as an excellent bridge from what my students initially learn in previous courses to what they must master in terms of curriculum design in my secondary methods course.

-- Joseph M. Shosh, Moravian College

Quite often, texts such as these suffer in their "readability" for college students who are grasping (for the first time) some of the nomenclature and terminology of the field. This text provides the necessary information in a manner that is usable for a student beginning his or her professional coursework.
