Abstract
While certainly a mystery, as Palmer suggests, a teachers mission, as well as reward, is educating, drawing out from students what lies dormant while proposing the new, the exhilarating, the as-yet undiscovered. Professors, especially those new to academe, frequently find themselves in the classroom with little preparation, guidance, or direction about how to convey the knowledge and skill set of the profession. The prevailing assumption is that advanced knowledge of subject matter itself is sufficient preparation to teach the subject. The unofficial credential for teaching is completion of a research doctorate in a particular discipline. This narrow position is reinforced by the belief that students will learn from a one-way transmission of information. Many of us have learned to teach the hard way, by the seat of our pants, by circumstance, or by necessity. We often teach unaware of how we teach, both at the surface level of recognizing and identifying what we do in the classroom, and at the philosophical level of considering why we do what we do. Theoretical frameworks and findings from research studies provide only limited assistance in mastering the art and craft of teaching. Between the ideas that research provides and the kinds of direction and decisions you, the teacher, must make, there is a gulf. Teachers, both new and experienced, seek practical yet innovative suggestions for creatively working with students. They need help with difficult questions. How do I divide my focus between establishing a relationship, developing a learning contract, and plunging into content? How can I enhance the learning process without actually getting in the way? How do I best connect with students? How can I make learning active? In what ways can I personalize the teaching/learning environment? How do I adapt the method of teaching to students differing learning styles? How do I keep content fresh for them and for me? How do I create a climate that is calming while challenging? How do I build a secure place to invite learning and change? Themes in this book resemble those in my other books that concentrate on clinical practice. They are heartfelt and basic.
