Finding the Great Teacher Inside You

By James F. Cotter

Does one perfect teaching strategy exist? If not, how does each teacher formulate it? And is there a satisfactory way to evaluate one's unique effectiveness in the classroom? If problems or weak areas do exist, how does one approach personal and professional obstacles and move them aside? In Finding the Great Teacher Inside You, James F. Cotter, PhD and Donald J. Cotter, PhD offer a self-help guide to great teaching based on evaluating elements of a teacher's academic surroundings-students, location, place within that system-and then help teachers develop a personalized teaching strategy tailored to those findings. From dispelling teaching myths to understanding the myriad areas of evaluation; from exploring what constitutes the ideal strategy to performing an honest self-evaluation, this book delivers on many levels. Ultimately, readers will discover avenues leading to exciting new possibilities and, in many cases, a rediscovered joy of teaching.
