Download or read book The Magical Teachers of Harry Potter written by Danielle Dickie and published by Teachistry. This book was released on 2020-06 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Journey through every Hogwarts professor's teaching style. - Can a werewolf teach effective lessons about monsters? - Will prophecies of death put a damper on your class environment? - Can a wizarding celebrity learn to put his students before himself? - Is the Dark Lord on the back of your head technically your co-teacher? Education books are often filled with stories of success, charity and perfection. But they fail to capture the true nature of teaching-it's messy. In The Magical Teachers of Harry Potter, you'll take a journey through every Hogwarts professor's teaching style and compare their experiences with the successes and-more importantly-the failures teachers experience inside a muggle classroom. This is where analyzing fictional characters gives a distinct advantage. Inside these pages are lessons from teachers you won't find in any other education book, including a half-giant who is too insecure to share his passion for magical creatures, a ghost who puts students to sleep, a Death Eater who gives surprisingly great career advice and a toad-like woman who abuses her students. What better way to grow as a teacher than to learn from these familiar professors' strengths and weaknesses? But this book is not just for educators. Any Harry Potter fan can appreciate reading more about the Hogwarts teachers who have already taught us so much. Harry's professors show us there isn't just one spell you can cast to become a perfect teacher-every day muggle teachers of all kinds bring true magic into their classrooms.

Download or read book If Harry Potter Ran General Electric written by Tom Morris and published by Crown Currency. This book was released on 2006-05-16 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: However important the magic of wands, brooms, cauldrons, potions, and spells might be to the vivid story telling of [the Harry Potter] books, it is merely incidental to their philosophy of life…. I can’t count the number of times I’ve heard someone in a business context say something like “I wish I could just magically solve all these problems” or “I’ll try my best to deal with this, but remember, I’m no magician.” What is particularly interesting is that the most difficult problems that the people in Harry’s world face are rarely solved with just magic, but rather by the use of intelligence, reasoning, planning, courage, determination, persistence, resourcefulness, creativity, fidelity, friendship, and many other qualities traditionally known by the philosophers in our world as virtues…. The meaning of life is not to be found in elixirs or incantations, secret words or exotic objects with esoteric powers, but in real moral virtue and the magic of what it can help us do….” J. K. Rowling’s novels about Harry Potter and the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry have captured the imaginations of people everywhere. In IF HARRY POTTER RAN GENERAL ELECTRIC, bestselling business author Tom Morris (IF ARISTOTLE RAN GENERAL MOTORS) uncovers the values and timeless truths that underlie Rawling’s hugely popular books and illuminate the lessons they offer to all of us in our careers and daily lives. But, you say, Harry Potter lives in a world of magic? What can we possibly learn to apply to our own careers and everyday lives? Morris shows that the most difficult problems Harry and his friends face are rarely solved by the use of magic alone. Rather, they are conquered by intelligence, reasoning, determination, creativity, friendship, and a host of other classic virtues–the very qualities, in fact, that make for success in every aspect of our lives. Blending an array of provocative examples from the novels with thought-provoking commentary on contemporary management practices, IF HARRY POTTER RAN GENERAL ELECTRIC offers readers a master’s course on leadership and ethics, told in an engaging and insightful way.
