Society, the Classroom, and Instructional Practice has been developed to help middle and high school teachers speak to the difficult 21st century issues in a rational, thoughtful manner.
Dr. Sparapani has collected a set of experts who address societal issues as far ranging as sexual minorities, eating disorders, and urban education. He then has contributors to the book offer insights into integrating developmental and sociological theories into secondary education. In the third and final section, Dr. Sparapani has formed a group of experts to help in-service and pre-service teachers understand how they can address relevant real-world issues in their classrooms while teaching the school's established curriculum.
In one text, Dr. Sparapani examines broad theoretical pedagogy, then narrows it to real-world application for teachers. As an edited volume, Dr. Sparapani has utilized the best experts in the field, giving the reader a variety of relevant and validated voices for a solid foundation in education and the current issues facing the profession today.
