Coverage of Using Multiple Models and Differentiating Instruction: Chapter 13: "Connecting the Models and Differentiating Instruction," discusses how to use multiple models of instructions together and provides additional coverage of how to differentiate instruction for individual students.
Expanded Coverage of Assessment: The heavily revised Assessment chapter (6) provides new and expanded coverage of the era of accountability, reliability, the effects of standardized testing and the teacher's role, rubrics (including a step-by-step guide to designing rubrics), portfolios, making decisions about assessment, types of assessments to measure different types of knowledge and more.
INTASC and PRAXIS™ Resources: An end-of-book matrix keys Learning to Teach topics and activities to the INTASC standards and content tested on the PRAXIS II™ PLT exam. Practice quizzes designed to allow students to use Learning to Teacher to prepare for the Praxis II™ PLT exam are located on the Interactive Student CD-ROM and the Online Learning Center.
Expanded Interactive Lesson Planning Exercises and Practice Activities: These interactive activities, housed on the Interactive Student CD-ROM, put the user in the role of teacher.

These segments provide classroom examples of Assessment, Diversity, Concept Attainment and Using Multiple Methods. The video program, now with 12 segments, is available in VHS and DVD formats.
Updated and New Content: Learning to Teach has been thoroughly updated and new coverage has been added regarding: linguistic diversity, online and virtual schools, working with gender differences in the classroom, sexual orientation, language difference of children in SES families, religious diversity, mental planning, selecting technology, translating standards into goals and objectives, and working with parents.
