Why Teaching Matters is an introductory guide to core elements of
teaching, getting to the heart of what teaching is, and why it
matters. Paul Farber and Dini Metro-Roland introduce the following
8 elements which encompass the many issues, themes and social
complexities of teaching: - Conveying Care - Enacting Authority -
Cultivating Virtue - Interpreting Subject matter - Rendering
Judgment - Articulating Purpose - Establishing a Sense of Place -
Engaging Presence The focus on the elements of practice frames
discussion of teaching as an essential human activity and
highlights the kinds of significant issues that teachers face,
including technology, social inequality, and the management and
evaluation of their work. As a philosophical guide, it introduces
and draws upon a range of thinkers, including Nel Noddings, Hannah
Arendt, Hans-Georg Gadamer, Danielle Allen, and James Baldwin whose
work informs a deeper understanding of teaching. The theoretical
discussions are grounded with examples and anecdotes from the
classroom so that theory is always connected with practice, and
questions for further inquiry appear at the end of each chapter.
Intended for students of education and for new and experienced
teachers alike, as well as anyone interested in the impact of
teaching, Why Teaching Matters explores the inherent complexity and
challenges of teaching, offering a comprehensive account of the
many ways in which teaching matters.
