Description: Here children learn what the career of teaching is. The daily activity of the elementary classroom is focused on improving skills, general as well as specific knowledge, problem solving, and interacting with others. The teaching of reading, writing, math, social studies, geography, and science involves special skills. To do this the teacher uses texts, discussion groups, reading groups, videos, computers, games, and even field trips. In this volume the reader sees specific photographs of activities and interactions in the classroom. The teacher is shown working with a principal or the superintendent, a guidance counselor, or a group of parents. In each case, the reader learns something very specific about what is taking place and why it is important for children. Since the role of parents is recognized as being of primary importance, they are a part of this story, too.
