3.0 out of 5 stars The Struggles of Teaching, June 1, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Sometimes a Shining Moment (Paperback)
Sometimes a Shining Moment examines one English teacher's struggles in the classroom as he puts together a student-run literary magazine that becomes a national hit - The Foxfire Books.

The book is filled with innovative, practical ideas that can be implemented in the student-centered classroom - a class where students are empowered and so busy that there is no time for discipline problems.

Wigginton stresses the philosophies of Dewey - treating students as adults, giving them responsibility, teaching them interdisciplinary skills and showing them that you, as a teacher, care about them, can learn with them, and that you are human.

This text should be required reading in all college teacher education programs.
