Description
This popular textbook explores three approaches to teaching: The Executive, The Facilitator, and The Liberationist. It includes four new case studies that examine the strengths and weaknesses of each approach, allowing teachers to critically assess their own philosophical positions.
The book encourages teachers to reflect on their practice by considering questions such as what is the main goal of teaching and how does one's role and goals influence teaching structure. An updated section called "Topics and Resources" provides further guidance for inquiry into teaching.
