The fourth edition of Teaching: Making a Difference, 4th Edition (Churchill et al.) draws together the voices and contemporary research of Australia’s pre-eminent education academics. The combination of their knowledge, hands-on experience and insight will help you develop your craft and technique, and provide a framework to enable you to excel as a future educator. This market-leading text is accessible for all students and designed to engage and inspire, while staying realistic, practical and jargon-free.
Available as a full-colour printed textbook with an interactive eBook code, this title enables every student to master concepts and succeed in assessment, by taking the roadblocks out of self-study, with features that are designed to help you get the most out of the content.
You can expect components like videos from teachers that help you connect the theoretical with real world examples, animations and interactivities that are embedded at the point of learning to bring course concepts to life, Concept Check questions that are embedded throughout the text that provide instant feedback and provide guidance for further study, and ensuring students get to have the best of both worlds, with the ability to switch between reading something tangible and studying with online (or offline!) learning resources, through the ability to search, highlight and take notes within the text.
