Recenzii
Finally . . . a forthright, down-to-earth look at what is really important in our schools and in our society: great teachers and great teaching!
Great Teaching is packed with tips that speak directly to the nitty gritty reality of classrooms, helping teachers to be skillful and thoughtful in creating conditions for the teaching-learning compact.
Finally! Someone who acknowledges the vital skills that good teachers possess. We need this type of acknowledgment more often.
Bravo! This is a true educator’s handbook. This book finally puts in print what is a quality teacher, providing quality education. This should be the Bible for every educator’s library!
Amid the ‘high-stakes’ climate of public education today, DiGiulio’s gem of a book reminds us of far more important outcomes than politicized test scores. Plain and simple, the book resonates with common sense.
