Teaching and Learning in American Schools by Zemelman, Daniels,
Hyde. This book summarizes best practices of progressive teaching in
six subject areas: reading, writing, mathematics, science, social studies,
and the arts. It is a great resource and would be especially helpful
for new teachers and principals. Each subject area chapter includes
sections on what parents can do and what principals can do.
