The Heart of Teaching is a book about teaching and learning in the
performing arts. Its focus is on the inner dynamics of teaching:
the processes by which teachers can promote-or undermine-creativity
itself. It covers the many issues that teachers, directors and
choreographers experience, from the frustrations of dealing with
silent students and helping young artists 'unlearn' their
inhibitions, to problems of resistance, judgment and race in the
classroom,. Wangh raises questions about what can-and what
cannot-be taught, and opens a discussion about the social,
psychological and spiritual values that underlie the skills and
techniques that teachers impart. Subjects addressed include:
Question asking: which kinds of questions encourage creativity and
which can subvert the learning process. Feedback: how it can foster
both dependence and independence in students. Grading: its meaning
and meaninglessness. Power relationships, transference and
counter-transference The pivotal role of listening. The Heart of
Teaching speaks to experienced teachers and beginning teachers in
all disciplines, but is particularly relevant to those in the
performing arts, from which most of its examples are drawn. It
brings essential insight and honesty to the discussion of how to
teach.
