Teaching that Matters invites principals and teachers to make
changes that will allow all students to succeed. Thoms urges
administrators and teachers to reconsider traditional practices in
light of today's media-driven culture and digitally wired students.
While sensitive to the challenges schools face Thoms is relentless
in offering strategies to meet these challenges. Rather than focus
on improving test scores, Teaching that Matters advocates that
teachers teach to a child's whole symphony, not only to one note.
If students only learn to succeed on bubble tests, they will not
have opportunities to discover their true potential. Thoms sees the
teaching process as a joint venture between teacher and student
where the teacher brings learning to the student and, at the same
time, brings the student to the learning. This process demands at
least as much listening as talking, a new habit that teachers and
principals need to learn. By meeting innovative principals and
teachers who engage students, this book will help you to learn to
change traditional classroom practices into exciting alternatives.
