Download or read book The Joy of Teaching EasyRead Large Bold Edition written by Peter G. Filene and published by ReadHowYouWant.com. This book was released on 2008 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: [This book] provides helpful guidance for new instructors developing and teaching their first college courses. [In the book, the author] proposes that teaching should not be like a baseball game in which the instructor pitches ideas to students to see whether they hit or strike out. Ideally, he says, teaching should resemble a game of Frisbee in which the teacher invites students to catch ideas and pass them on. Rather than prescribe a single model for success, [he] examines the advantages and disadvantages of various pedagogical strategies, inviting new teachers to make choices based on their own personalities, values, and goals. [In the book, he also] tackles everything from syllabus writing and lecture planning to class discussions, grading, and teacher-student interactions outside the classroom. [The book is] for new teachers in all fields. Instructors in the humanities, the social sciences, and the natural sciences will all welcome its invaluable tips for successful teaching and learning.-Back cover.
