This text, designed as a handbook for preservice and beginning teachers, is organized to address broad topics in secondary school teaching rather than the needs of specific subject areas. While examples are included from specific subject disciplines, the focus is on the relationships among them (concepts, skills, practices).

These problems are compounded by methods texts that compartmentalize different aspects of teaching (theory, practice, critical analysis).
