Book Description

Excerpt from Everyday Problems in Teaching The character and purpose of this book may be best indicated by describing in a word or two how it has been developed. For a number of years I have been accustomed to write out a rather detailed account of examples of effective teaching or the reverse which I have observed in any department of education, from the kindergarten to the university. During this period I have had opportunity to inspect teaching in many sections of the country, and in a variety of schools, with the result that I have accumulated a considerable number of instances of actual school work, with comments thereupon; and I have been able to test the value of the methods employed by actual trial upon a group of children whose training has been committed to my care. This volume is composed mainly of the more typical and practical of these concrete examples of teaching, together with discussions of the principles involved. The treatment throughout is based almost wholly upon the description of typical lessons, given in sufficient detail to indicate the aim in each one, and the method of attaining it. In respect to style, it has seemed to me desirable to use rather simple sentences for the most part. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
