The Teaching Instinct: Explorations Into What Makes Us Human

By Kip Téllez

Book Overview

In The Teaching Instinct: Explorations Into What Makes Us Human, Kip T llez invites us to reappraise teaching through a wide lens and argues that our capacity to teach is one part culture, two parts genetic. By rescuing the field of instinct psychology from the margins, this challenging book explores topics as diverse as teaching in other species, teaching across human cultures, and the development of teaching in young children, finally drawing readers into a discussion about how our teaching instinct influences modern teacher learning, selection and preparation.
