Education in Edge City, Second Edition is a unique collection of
cases designed to provide preservice teachers with opportunities
for realistic decision making. A hypothetical city, residential
communities, a school district, and school buildings are described.
Within this setting, students, teachers, administrators, parents,
and board members are all introduced and portrayed in varying
detail. Students are asked to step into their shoes to solve their
problems. Professors who have used the first edition attest to the
power of this text to trigger debate and discussion, to cause
students to appreciate the fundamental issues in education, and to
motivate them to use other resources to deepen their understanding
of those issues. Features: A series of cases, all dealing with
characters and situations in the Edge City context, provide
students with experience in making professional decisions and in
dealing with the consequences of those decisions. No textbook can
take the place of actual experience, but the hands-on and
"minds-on" exercises in this casebook will help future teachers see
the big picture of what teaching entails. Students have the
opportunity to examine issues of classroom management, assessment,
diversity, professionalism, school governance, and more. Each
chapter in the book includes a short introduction to a case, focus
questions related to the issues of the case, the case itself,
questions for reflection and discussion about the issues raised,
class and individual projects related to the case, additional
teaching and learning activities which include role play
opportunities and ways to examine the issues in the students' local
school community. There are also suggestions for further reading.
Detailed information on the elements in this book and how they are
organized is contained in the Introduction. Following Part I, the
topics and organization of the book parallel those found in many
