Ă propos de ce livre
Have you wrestled with the complexity of classroom teaching? Have you often wondered what might be impeding your performance in the classroom? Parker J. Palmer's exploration into teaching and the problems that teachers encounter offers practical theories that address the questions one has or perhaps might not have thought to ask. This book is about Parker J. Palmer's theories of education interwoven with his spiritual vision of education. Undergirding the spiritual aspect of his vision is his theory about the significance of the teacher's authentic self. Within the narrative is the personal story of one teacher's daunting experiences as she ventured into the field of teaching after a career in the corporate world. Meeting Palmer while in graduate school, and closely studying his work, served to modify her perspective about teaching for the better. This ultimately changed her as a teacher in ways that could not have occurred had she not had this encounter. This book aims to inform as well as to help transform the experience of teaching for both teacher and student.
