"All of us teach." So begins this powerful collection presented by
Mark Schwehn. If we take seriously the lessons in Teaching and
Learning, then our lives will begin to change because our attitudes
about the basic daily activities of teaching and learning will be
transformed.
We need a rich account of good teaching, not just the classroom
variety but the activity that is part of our everyday
relationships. If we do not develop that account now, Schwehn fears
we will lose our capacity to fully understand teaching and learning
and their historical and human importance.
To meet that need, Schwehn has wisely chosen to focus our
attention on great teachers in the act of teaching and on their
students in the act of learning. He challenges us, based on those
images and the ideas they generate, to question our assumptions
about ourselves and others as everyday teachers and learners, and
about our methods and purposes both inside and outside the
classroom.
The reader can explore an impressive array of texts and
teachers, including Socrates, St. Augustine, the Old and New
Testaments, Lincoln, Wittgenstein, Nietzsche, and James Joyce.
Schwehn also includes excerpts from the Desert Fathers and Hassidic
Masters. All the texts open our eyes to a wider and deeper view of
teaching and learning.
