I remember this professor (he-who-shall-not-be-named) in my credential program who literally taught the class titled “Effective Teaching” and he was a total train wreck! He taught we his back to us! He would ask a question, we’d all raise our hands to respond, and then he’d ignore us and answer it himself.
It was exhausting.
But it did get me to thinking deeply about effective teaching…even if it was because he sucked so badly and I was learning how NOT to teach!
As you enter the grand coversation of teaching in this glorious profession, it is important to various trends and issues in the field of education. I think you’re going to love this incredible video by Sir Ken Robinson!
