Features: As the author herself said, this is an educational work that is rich in content, theory, and highly readable. The book introduces a large number of vivid and lively educational "cases," each of which is universal and typical. Although they reflect problems in American schools, they are equally inspiring and instructive for us. This book provides us with an exciting yet realistic glimpse into the "teachers in today's schools and classrooms." Many who have taken "introductory education courses" wonder whether they possess the attitudes, abilities, skills, and personality tendencies needed to succeed in this field. One of the fundamental intentions of this introductory textbook is to provide information to those who wish to pursue a career in teaching, helping them make better decisions. Our goal is to describe frankly and sincerely "what education is" and "what education could be like," rather than excluding those who are capable and concerned about education from this field.
