Science Instruction in the Middle and Secondary Schools gives pre-service and novice teachers the knowledge and basic skills they need to enact the basics of science teaching–purpose, planning, assessing, teaching, and managing. It features numerous motivating features such as vignettes, cares, classroom examples, exercises, and more, to give the concepts real meaning in readers’ everyday lives. This new edition supports science teaching and learning as reflected in the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS), and prepares teacher candidates to demonstrate the knowledge, skills, and dispositions called for in the 2012 NSTA Standards for Science and Teacher Preparation.
