Abstract: "Rethinking Preparation for Content Area Teaching describes a broad array of inquiry-oriented activities, protocols, and exercises for enabling teachers to gain expertise in improving adolescent reading - whether learning how to model and demystify reading processes for their students or how to assess the strengths that students bring to the process. The activities can be adapted to preservice courses in instructional methods or reading in the content areas as well as to in-service training programs."--Jacket.
