Reviews

A wonderful book about the practicalities of teaching. * Boston Globe *
Reading this book is a pleasure-it is like sitting in on a roundtable discussion with nine master teachers. * Change *
The deep and genuine concern for student learning that should underlie all such efforts is particularly evident... It is a successful mix, as the title promises, of teaching as both definable technique and indefinable artistry. -- Michele Fisher, Director, Stanford Center for Teaching and Learning
