Editorial Reviews

Celebrates the art of teaching as well as offering insights and practical support for both new and experienced teachers. Includes such perspectives as the characteristics of a good teacher, what children should learn, how they learn language, the development of reading and writing skills, the social skills of children, the use of children's experience, individual differences, organizing the classroom, using educational technology, the role of the teacher, the teacher and other people, and the effective school. Concludes that effective schools are due to effective teachers, and that people can become effective teachers but cannot be made into them by any outside force or trick. Examples and research reports are contained in boxes to keep them from impeding the flow of the narrative. Distributed in the US by Books International.
