Customer Reviews

great!

Helped me to secure an A in this one class

This book is very helpful for all the teachers....gives many learning tools needed in the classroom as well as information about teaching.

Kaleidoscope gives you the full spectrum

Kaliedoscope does the opposing viewpoints journal and essay writing approach very well. The articles are clustered into related fields with well written essays by professionals in the the mix of the issues in education and a few well known voices from the academic researchers to balance it out. The articles all kept me engaged due in part to the volitile nature of of the subjects addressed and the fact that they provoked a strong sense of either agreement of disaproval in either case. This book is a must read for new teachers that are trying to feel out the issues they will be facing in the classrooms and on their school campuses.

A Wonderful Book!

I've just started to read this book for one of my education classes. I love the insights that it shares with its readers. I am only beginning my career in education but am so fasinated with the many viewpoints and lessons to be learned. I feel it has been a very handy tool in assisting me with my classes. That is why I'd like to purchase this book.
