Teaching and Learning in Physical Therapy: From Classroom to Clinic
by Maryanne Driscoll Margaret M. PlackTeaching and learning are skills, and like other physical therapy skills, they must be learned and perfected. Teaching and Learning in Physical Therapy: From Classroom to Clinic offers a systematic approach to designing, implementing, and evaluating effective teaching-learning experiences. Each chapter begins with Objectives that clearly delineate what you will be prepared to do after completing the chapter and concludes with a Summary of the major concepts presented. Stop and Reflect sections allow you to actively engage with the content as you process the information and move through the chapters. Critical Thinking Clinical Scenarios provide multiple opportunities for you to apply and adapt key concepts to real world situations. Finally, concepts are reinforced through frequent Key Points to Remember sections. Drs. Margaret Plack and Maryanne Driscoll have over 35 years of experience in teaching, research, and clinical practice. Teaching and Learning in Physical Therapy is grounded in current literature and has a theoretical basis in reflective practice, active learning strategies, and brain compatible instruction. Also included in this text are practical strategies that allow students, educators, and clinicians, working with both students and patients, to enhance their critical thinking and clinical decision-making processes in a variety of settings and situations.
Teaching, Bearing The Torch: Introduction to Education Foundations (Third Edition)
by Pamela J. Farris Patricia L. RiemanTeachers are torchbearers—leaders who impart knowledge, truth, or inspiration to others. Pamela Farris, joined by Patricia Rieman in the latest edition of this exceptional foundations text, clearly demonstrates how teachers bear the torch. The authors' well-researched approach provides both positive and negative aspects of education trends. Their generous use of examples shows how teaching and schooling fit into the broader context of U.S. society and how they match up with other societies throughout the world. Farris and Rieman's lively writing style instills teacher education candidates with a lucid understanding of such topics as philosophy and history of education, national trends, requirements of becoming a teacher, teachers' salaries, how schools are governed and funded, demographic changes and expectations for the future, differences in rural and urban schools, and use of technology. Detailed lists of a variety of websites provide additional resources. Anecdotes of professionals in the field—authentic-voice narratives with frank insights into real-world teaching experiences—punctuate the text. Boxed scenarios concentrate on important issues and educators, energize readers' interest, and stimulate proactive thinking. Other outstanding features are the book's affordability and versatility. Instructors can easily assign all or a portion of the chapters to fit course needs.
