Lovely~Not a Compilation of Lesson Plans~A Must for Teachers,
By J.M. "A Parent Perspective" (CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Having of Wonderful Ideas: And Other Essays on Teaching and Learning (Paperback)
This book is excellent. It is an important read for teachers today. As an educator it is extremely disheartening to see the direction of education being driven today by politicians, rather than parents and teachers. Ms. Duckworth redirects are attention where it belongs, on the students & how they learn. This book gets us (teachers) thinking about the kind of classroom culture we want to create for our children. It is about what we value as educators. Don't mistake it for a quick reference, how-to book. This is not meant to be a outline of various lesson plans to try out with your class. It is more thoughtful than that and more important

This review is from: The Having of Wonderful Ideas: And Other Essays on Teaching and Learning (Paperback)
For me, the real strength of this book is the way the presence of Eleanor Duckworth shines through her writing. I liken it more to the beacon provided by a lighthouse than to a how-to manual that describes rowing techniques. The clear direction that shown through for me was that learning is complex, and that teacher behaviors must be equally complex, but the guiding light is simple: Listen to and respect the learner and respond with your whole person, and the learning that needs to happen will occur, for both partners in the process.

A book all teachers should read,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Having of Wonderful Ideas: And Other Essays on Teaching and Learning (Paperback)
Eleanor Duckworth is an amazing inspiration to teachers. This book is an exploration of what it means to know something, and how teachers should listen to their students. This may sound simple, but every teacher knows that it is not simple. Eleanor is able to enlighten a sense of wonder in her reader in an un-pretensious manner. Each chapter leaves you excited and amazed at the complexity of the learning process.
