Introducing the World of Education

A Case Study Reader

Beschreibung

Introducing the World of Education: A Case Study Reader is a unique and invaluable anthology that addresses the entire realm of K-12 education. This reader gives undergraduate and graduate students a solid introduction to the world of education by providing real-life situations in actual schools and communities from across the country. Editor Robert K. Yin has brought together a wide-ranging collection of whole or excerpted case studies with real data that move from classroom teaching and learning, to the bureaucracy of school districts and state departments of education, to the politics of school boards and community action. Few books, original or edited, have such a broad range of coverage while offering enough structure and context to lay the foundation for introductory education courses!
