Opis

This book explores the practical and psychological factors that regulate teaching and learning in the classroom, and illustrates how hope and creativity may arise out of unforeseen, non-standard, or turbulent conditions.

Recenzje

" Block offers a broad stroke perspective that includes a historical expectation of the potential of education to positively influence society, while also bringing a more focused lens on the present pedagogic climate of American education..This book will appeal to all who search for a more humane learning experience that is not, in Block’s metaphorical representation, the equivalent of teachers making deposits of knowledge in young minds that can be drawn upon on demand in the numerous assessments they face. This book does not define learning by scholarship and academia, but as a contributor to the quality of one’s life."
-Lynn Stammers, Psychodynamic Practice
