The Wisdom of Practice: Studies of Teaching in Christian Elementary and Middle Schools

By Peter P. DeBoer

The sixteen observation reports of effective teaching that comprise this book are intended to appeal to a variety of readers and serve several purposes. While the chapters in this book provide mere slices of classroom life in the course of a normal school year, they are the result of a series of visits that range in number from as few as three to as many as fourteen, and range in time from as brief as twenty minutes to as much as an entire morning. It allows one the opportunity to step into the classroom and see in some detail what is going on. The reports are full of ideas that can readily be put to practice ranging from instructional strategies, curricular materials, classroom management techniques, teacher-pupil relations and staff evaluation.
