Overview

An invaluable resource for Education students, Nine Habits explores the habits for success in both teacher behaviour and student development. The book also provides starting points for teaching ideas and student activities, as well as many recommended resources and interesting Web sites. Author Ian Hundey infuses Nine Habits with insights from a lifelong career of writing history and teaching history in schools and faculties of education in Canada and elsewhere. Mr. Hundey draws from his own experience, as well as from the rich literature of history and history education, and from the observations of colleagues, practising teachers, and students in order to present this essential practical guide for history teachers in training.
