This popular text continues using the format of the three
approaches - The Executive, The Facilitator, and The Liberationist.
For the Fifth Edition, the authors add four new case studies:
'Scripted Teaching', 'Accountability and Merit', 'What is the Value
of Caring Relationships?' and 'School Funding'. Using these and
other realistic case studies, they explore the strengths and
weaknesses of each approach so that teachers can critically assess
their own philosophical positions on teaching. Teachers are urged
to ask themselves such questions as: What is the main goal of
teaching? What is the most important purpose of education? What do
I expect my students to eventually become? Is the way I structure
my teaching influenced by how I view my role and goals? This
updated edition also adds a new section called 'Topics and
Resources' to encourage further inquiry into teaching. Approaches
to Teaching is one of the five books in the highly regarded
Teachers College Press THINKING ABOUT EDUCATION SERIES, now in its
Fifth Edition. All of the books in this series are designed to help
pre- and in-service teachers bridge the gap between theory and
practice.
