We treasure the occasions when a classroom of students becomes
totally focused, absorbed by ideas. How can teachers make these
special moments happen more often? Every teacher has powerful
memories of becoming swept up in an electric moment when the
classroom hums with energy and students are wholly engaged in
learning. During such moments of real learning, teenagers find
genuine meaning, worth, and value in their academic experiences.
And their teachers find in these heightened and exuberant moments
the embodiment of their best hopes and ideals as educators. How can
such "teachable moments" be encouraged? What can teachers do to
inspire more of these educationally vital episodes? In this
compelling book, Sam M. Intrator scrutinizes powerful learning
moments in a high school classroom. He offers five detailed
portraits of these experiences, describing in each case how the
teacher shaped the culture of the class, made critical pedagogical
decisions, and connected students to the subject matter. Intrator
confirms that seemingly magical learning moments can becultivated,
and he suggests numerous practical ideas to help teachers do so.
