The coaching metaphor first entered the educational literature over
twenty-five year ago when Ted Sizer urged classroom teachers to
model the pedagogical relationship between coaches and athletes.
Yet, since then, educators have rarely drawn direct lessons from
the athletic arena for their practice... until now. DeMeulenaere,
Cann, Malone and McDermott, in this groundbreaking analysis,
explore the implications of athletic coaching for improved
pedagogy. They offer concrete lessons and suggestions for best
practices in the classroom. "Reflections from the Field is quite
simply a tour de force - one of the most powerful books on
teachers, teaching, and learning I have read. Compelling, useful,
and emotionally inspiring, it should be read by every pre-service
teacher, teacher-educator and practicing educator in the U.S."
-From the Foreword by Sarah Michaels, Co-Author of Ready, Set,
Science , Professor of Education at Clark University "Reflections
from the Field is an invitation to meet a set of teachers who are
reflective practitioners, relationship-builders, and also, not
coincidentally, coaches - they know how to improvise, how to
nourish and challenge, how to recognize the uniqueness of each and
power of all, and how to dance the dialectic between thought and
action. This vivid kaleidoscope offers an opportunity to see how
it's done." -William Ayers, Author of To Teach, Distinguished
Professor of Education and Senior University Scholar at the
University of Illinois, Chicago (retired)
