Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ideal Teacher Teaching will be a profession when we have learned the need of thorough scholarly equipment, and single minded devotion to our daily and hourly duties in the school-room, under the guidance of those larger ideals which the world has set up for the protection of its cherished values. Nothing less than expert knowledge, tempered by a spirit of reverent ministry to those placed under our tuition, will ever make us professional teachers. Teaching will be a fine art when the situations of schoolroom life are made to call for the best in teacher and pupil. In such a soil of noble motivation the highest powers of human beings thrive. The teacher who drives or is driven, who forces himself or his children through stated tasks, without any sense of their significance, will not find teaching congenial. He will never know that absorption which is the essence of art. Half-heartedly he will teach, his other, more imperious impulses beckoning him away to another life. And while he stays, he will know only that pain of conﬂict which destroys the possibility of happy work. To achieve real success, teaching must be kept an interesting business, where the free impulses of children and teachers are so used as to accomplish useful things happily.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christ, the Teacher The following pages were written during the work of a busy itinerant life. During years of preparation for the ministry, and many years teaching in a Christian school, more and more the thought impressed itself that the true ideal was in the great Teacher. This thought is presented in the hope that many may be stimulated to learn of him. The Authorized Version of the Scriptures has been followed, mainly. Conscious of the fact that in relying thereon, many times we may be led into slight inaccuracies, owing to the fact that sometimes the translation introduces figures of speech not in the original, and at other times omits figures found in the original, yet it seemed best for the purpose, in the main, at least, to so do. Besides, to depend upon the Greek text, entirely, would require a textual criticism far beyond the scope and pretense of this volume. The work is intentionally primary, and is designed to lead to a more exhaustive study of the ideal Teacher as a model. It is sincerely hoped that the mingling of the didactic and hortatory styles may not prove objectionable, but, rather, instructive and inspiring. With a desire to enhance the interest of Christ's kingdom among men, and with a feeling akin to that of Justin Martyr, expressed in the saying, "Fain would I, O Son of Mary, have said something great of thee," this work is submitted to the public.

This little book 18 really an adaptation Of the Twelve Virtues of a Good Teacher, written by Blessed de la Salle, the founder Of the Christian Schools. From it many teachers have derived rules Of conduct which have assisted them greatly in their difficult functions, but the greater number, by far, have not had recourse to it, because it was not written for the instruction Of girls. That this valuable work may be put in universal use, we have modified it, having due regard for the difference of temperament, character, early education, etc., which is usually found in' children of both sexes, and also in the persons.

To reprint from the Journal of Education some of the papers which I fur nished, at the editor's request, as Reminiscences of an Old Teacher. I should be glad to have every young man in the country seeking for a truly liberal education live such a life as I lived till I entered college. Through life, though spent at a distance from the fields, and in an occupation as unlike husbandry and gardening as possible, I have en joyed the familiar knowledge I obtained of the earth, and of everything that grows out of the earth, and of the animals, quadrupeds, birds, fishes, and insects with which I became familiarly acquainted. I have been benefited and blest by the habits I formed of using all my bodily faculties in daily vigorous exercise for some hours every summer's day till I entered college.

One of them caught the eye of a New York publisher who saw in the text the poten tial Scripture of a life. The writer's part has been to watch the seed grow and to let in upon it the soft airs of memory and the dews of life's afternoon.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Qualities Related to Success in Teaching This thesisl lies in the field of research which is concerned with methods of rating teaching, of determining the significant factors in teaching ability, and of measuring objectively such factors. This field of research is by no means a virgin one nor is it one of academic interest only. Practical school administrators have no more important and, at present, no more troublesome problems than those which are grouped around the technique of selecting and rating teachers. Actual isolation of such factors as intellect and temperament, which are indispensable to successful teaching, and the discovery of a method determining whether a prospective teacher possesses the indispensable qualities of a good teacher would be a' boon to School administrators. During the past fifteen years educators and psychologists have given their earnest attention to this series of problems, on which a great deal has been written and on which much research work has been done. Three studies have been selected to Show the general development of attempts which have been made to find solutions to different phases of the personal-management problems of our public schools.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mary Kingwood's School: A Real Story Possibly the most potent motive to good teaching is that the teacher see herself teach. This can only be done in idea. The teacher becomes the observer of an ideal school in which she is the ideal teacher and her pupils ideal pupils. The "I" in Miss Johnson's story is Miss Johnson witnessing herself as Miss Kingwood doing the work of the primary school. In my experience as a teacher and as a director of teachers I became convinced that this phase of the teacher's life should be emphasized, and as I never had seen a book dealing with this idealizing of the school from the standpoint of sympathy, I suggested to Miss Johnson that she work it out using her own experience as a basis. It had been my pleasure to see her teach her first school and then six successive successful terms. I had studied her intuitions and talked with her on the pedagogy involved in her act.

They may be given orally if that be necessary; but it is preferable to send the children to the Bible for its texts. Review lessons should be frequent otherwise much of what is learned will be lost in the progress of further teaching. And the reviews will tax the uttermost cleverness of a teacher. Every scholar should be carried through the entire course a second time, and a few, at least, will need it a third time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What makes a great teacher great? Who are the professors students remember long after graduation? This book, the conclusion of a fifteen-year study of nearly one hundred college teachers in a wide variety of fields and universities, offers valuable answers for all educators. The short answer is—it’s not what teachers do, it’s what they understand. Lesson plans and lecture notes matter less than the special way teachers comprehend the subject and value human learning. Whether historians or physicists, in El Paso or St. Paul, the best teachers know their subjects inside and out—but they also know how to engage and challenge students and to provoke impassioned responses. Most of all, they believe two things fervently: that teaching matters and that students can learn. In stories both humorous and touching, Ken Bain describes examples of ingenuity and compassion, of students’ discoveries of new ideas and the depth of their own potential. What the Best College Teachers Do is a treasure trove of insight and inspiration for first-year teachers and seasoned educators.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Massachusetts Teacher, 1849, Vol. 2 The profession demand it from the nature and object of their employment. The direct object of the teacher's labor is the mind: to de velop and educate the intellect, to awaken its faculties, direct and discipline them, is the office and nature of his profession. A considerable portion of the time and labor which are now de voted to teaching are expended in experiment; in ascertaining and then testing the best modes of communicating knowledge. Could his energy and exertion be employed in accordance with the rules of a perfect and complete system of teaching, in which he might safely confide, much greater and more satisfactory results would be accomplished; much time would be saved and the cause of infinite perplexities removed. But such a complete system does not exist. There is no established system of mental philosophy, even; in no other department of knowledge have great minds differed so widely in their speculations, or arrived at results so startlingly opposed. And the principles of teach ing and governing in schools must be learned at the present day, as they always have been, by experience. Eminent teachers have lived who taught with wonderful success, and they have been rendered immortal by the fame of their scholars: but of their peculiar modes of instruction, of the causes and sources of their success, we are almost wholly ignorant: the fruit of their experience has been buried with them.
