You asked, we answered: Are basal curricula from major publishers more or less expensive than the alternatives? My knowledge is outdated, but here’s what I know from my time at a curriculum publisher. It’s more costly to develop programs with whole books because of the cost…
Dear university education professors, Here are some books that should be mandatory texts in your programs. X friends, add one text that you think is essential for soon to be teachers. I'm focusing on books based on research, but model application.
