Evaluation
When reviewing this textbook and resources, I found it to be very well organized and layout of the information was easy to follow. There was a lot of additional resources that teachers could use to enhance additional practice with the medical terminology taught in the each of the chapters.
Additional benefit I found was that they lesson plans were set up that even a 1st year teacher could follow them and the activities it presented. Each lesson plan had a prompt, direct instruction and then an activity for the class to do related to what was learned that day.
I found the textbook was easy to follow and the PowerPoints provided followed the textbook.
This book with all the resources would be a good book for teachers who are just starting out to teachers who are more experienced but are looking at different ways to teach the information.
