Description

Product Description The complexity of what teachers do is incomprehensible to anyone who has not lived the experience. If one examines, in detail, the multi-dimensional, multi-layered, multi-faceted acts that a teacher performs each teaching day, it almost defies belief for it is beyond heroic. Done well, the impact is to influence students for all the days of their lives. Done well, it leaves students altered for the better. It takes a trained observer to perceive and comprehend the various acts, both overt and subtle, that a teacher carries out during the course of a school day. This is the onus of this book - to make explicit the professional tasks of a teacher in today's fast changing world, where technology is rapidly replacing human interactions, where disinformation is daily fed to a gullible public, where funding and professional resources for schools are never enough, where students come to school carrying physical and emotional burdens that would daunt most adults, where the tasks of teachers are more demanding and more heartbreaking than ever before. How a teacher gives his or her all, and yet, manages to keep at the job without burning out is a significant feature of this book. Not only are these professional tasks identified and explained, but suggestions are offered for how new and practicing teachers may further hone those skills that each task demands. Knowing the tasks is not enough; learning to apply them successfully is the key to becoming that master teacher. Review Dr. Selma Wassermann's book is a highly relevant and timely resource. It should be required reading for all educators and especially for those in positions making decisions regarding best practice. For those in the classroom, online, at home or at a teacher training university, it provides information and practical guidance for improvement in all aspects of teaching and learning. It is a masterful and comprehensive contribution for use by educators and policy makers at all levels.--Maureen McAllister, teacher and elementary consultant, Vancouver School Board; faculty associate, Simon Fraser University Mastering the Art of Teaching is a must-read for every teacher at any stage of his or her career. As a teacher myself, with more than 40 years of experience, I learned a long time ago that the art of teaching is a career-long aspiration. Dr. Wassermann's views about teaching excellence, so clearly expressed, will inspire most any teacher to go beyond proficiency - from knowing how to teach, to actually applying the essential teaching competencies that she describes - to a mastery level of teaching and truly making a difference in the lives of students.--Gary Squire, retired teacher & principal, North Vancouver School District, former faculty associate, Professional Development Program, Simon Fraser University Wasserman distills from her many years as a teacher and teacher educator the essence of what it means to be a teacher..."incomprehensible to anyone who has not lived the experience." The result is a deep, thoughtful, and sympathetic guide to carry us through all stages of our teaching life. The key is the teacher-student relationship that transcends issues of lesson planning, curriculum, and evaluation, so beloved by teacher training programs. Her deep respect for students pervades all aspects of teaching life, as she says "never, ever, ever make a student feel less able, less happy, less secure at the end of a school day than at the beginning." This is a wonderful insight, and the ways she elaborates this fundamental idea makes this book a powerful resource for anyone contemplating a teaching career or already in the classroom.--Thomas O'Shea, SFU Excellence in Teaching award, author, "Mathematics Education Across Time and Place" With Mastering the Art of Teaching, Selma Wassermann breaks down the professional tasks required of teachers before weaving them into a cohesive whole with examples of how to apply them in instructional situ
