Teaching for the Students, ppb

by Bob Fecho

Habits of Heart, Mind, and Practice in the Engaged Classroom

In this follow-up to his popular book, ''Is This English?,'' Bob Fecho explores dialogic teaching--what it is and how teachers can move toward more reflective teaching practices. Fecho provides a framework to help teachers develop the necessary focuses, perceptions, and intellectual habits that will result in an ever-enriching dialogue with their practice. Chapters like ''Using the Difficulty'' consider how an obstacle in the classroom can become a teachable moment, and ''Wobble'' asks teachers to be alert to when their beliefs are challenged by students and colleagues--and what can be learned in the balancing act. With anecdotes and scenarios from the author's own experience teaching adolescents and pre-service teachers, this engaging book will resonate with educators busy with today's overcrowded curriculums.
