Summary: Readable ed psych, at last
Comment: At last, an ed psych book that is not pretentious! Seifert seemed to talk with readers (or at least to me) in a natural way about teaching, students, and the stresses of teaching careers. The book does not pretend that ed psych is truly "scientific," and it takes the inherent uncertainties of teaching seriously without implying that teaching is therefore an impossible job. I enjoyed reading this book, maybe because it did NOT seem like a classic textbook. Like a lot of ed students, though, I wish it had a bit more on classroom management

Summary: Sorry Seifert - Only For Super Novice Student Teachers
Comment: Ask your professor to choose another text if this is the book you are required to use - unless you are in Grade 9 "Exploring Possible Careers in Teaching". The author's approach in the text is bizarre and condescending, though he says it is in a "storytelling" fashion. 20+ students enrolled in a internationally known teaching university (based in Chicago) emplored our instructor to get a different text , but it was too late. Hopefully, sometime in the future, I will be able to use the book to prop up an unstable table or something. I will not resell it! It must be removed from the list of viable texts. Nonsense like this book are what make teachers (and education majors) the brunt of cruel comments. Sorry Seifert! If you expect to prepare the next generation of teachers, raise your standards considerably.
