Download or read book What the Best College Teachers Do written by Ken Bain and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What makes a great teacher great? Who are the professors students remember long after graduation? This book, the conclusion of a fifteen-year study of nearly one hundred college teachers in a wide variety of fields and universities, offers valuable answers for all educators. The short answer is—it’s not what teachers do, it’s what they understand. Lesson plans and lecture notes matter less than the special way teachers comprehend the subject and value human learning. Whether historians or physicists, in El Paso or St. Paul, the best teachers know their subjects inside and out—but they also know how to engage and challenge students and to provoke impassioned responses. Most of all, they believe two things fervently: that teaching matters and that students can learn. In stories both humorous and touching, Ken Bain describes examples of ingenuity and compassion, of students’ discoveries of new ideas and the depth of their own potential. What the Best College Teachers Do is a treasure trove of insight and inspiration for first-year teachers and seasoned educators.

Download or read book The 7 Traits of Talented Teachers written by Akira Maria LeBlanc and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-07-03 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 7 Traits of Talented Teachers details essential characteristics of great classroom teachers. Many of the characteristics, or traits, have been "passed down" from earlier educators to those who serve our classrooms today. Qualities such as effective relationship-building, attention to student culture and biography, and the generation of fervor for education, constitute but a few of the traits that talented teachers possess. Through the author's personal reflection of her own educator-ancestors, she enlightens readers with the idealistic look of the talented teacher and encourages educational practitioners to become a part of this elite group for the sake of youth. Through the metaphor of genetics, The 7 Traits highlights the notion of today's teachers inheriting the professional DNA of the educators that came before them and, subsequently, of exhibiting the characteristics of their pedagogical gifts and talents with their own students. This work illuminates an inheritance from a lineage of educators whose purpose to provide above-average educational experiences for their students shaped the next generation of professionals, some of whom followed their lead and became talented teachers.
Download or read book The Great American Education Industrial Complex written by Anthony G. Picciano and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-05-07 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Great American Education-Industrial Complex examines the structure and nature of national networks and enterprises that seek to influence public education policy in accord with their own goals and objectives. In the past twenty years, significant changes have taken place in the way various interest groups seek to influence policies and practices in public education in the United States. No longer left to the experience and knowledge of educators, American education has become as much the domain of private organizations, corporate entities, and political agents who see it as a market for their ideas, technologies, and ultimately profits. Piccciano and Spring posit that educational technology is the vehicle whereby these separate movements, organizations, and individuals have become integrated in a powerful common entity, and detail how the educational-industrial complex has grown and strengthened its position of influence. This timely, carefully documented, well argued book brings together Picciano’s perspective and expertise in the field of technology and policy issues and Spring’s in the history and politics of education in a unique critical analysis of the education-industrial complex and its implications for the future.

Book excerpt: For decades, practically every major initiative in American education (from top-down standards to the testing movement) has moved decision-making farther away from the school. Fighting against this trend throughout their careers, Deborah Meier, John Goodlad, James Comer, Ted Sizer, and Henry Levin have worked to give our schools back the ability to educate students in the broadest and richest traditions of activity, inquiry, and problem solving. Now these visionary educators have joined together to share personal stories of the challenges and triumphs they faced and their ideas of what education can and must be for every student. Serving as an inspirational call to action for those seeking to be more involved in the urgent and continuing efforts to restore America’s public schools, this book: Brings together the experiences and insights of greatly influential and progressive educational leaders of the past half-century...and they are still working today!
