Summary Annotation Notes on Teaching delivers utterly relevant guidance, lucid explanatory commentary, and helpful examples that will help anyone become a better teacher. Like its siblings in the Notes On series (Notes on Directing and Notes on Cooking), the books clear, accessible, and practical insights into the art and craft of teaching invoke the spirit of Strunk s The Elements of Style and Sun Tsus The Art of War, giving its audience the information they need in the way they want it: brief, efficient, direct. The notes are designed to provoke strong reactions--either in agreement or dissent--that will guide anyone who teaches to acknowledge, test, and debate their own beliefs. By turns provocative, funny, and unerringly blunt (#166 Steer clear of the grumblers), the authors understand that HOW the information is delivered is as valuable as the information itself.Endorsed by: Wendy Kopp, Founder, Teach for America.
