{"product_id":"emergent-teaching-sam-crowell-9781475802559","title":"Emergent Teaching: A Path of Creativity, Significance, and Transformation","description":"Emergent Teaching inspires teachers to teach with more spontaneity and creativity within an educational environment that is highly constrained. It demonstrates, through descriptive stories, creative strategies and provides an intellectual foundation for emergent teaching. The authors show how teachers can relate subject matter to students' lives and experience. They illustrate rituals and processes that help establish a caring learning community. Finally, the book applies the theories of complexity and chaos while reaffirming the natural wisdom that teachers possess within themselves. The authors have chosen a narrative format that \"models\" rather than \"tells,\" and encourages readers to connect to their own stories and experiences.\u003cbr\u003eThe book is consistent with the theoretical understandings and research in the complexity sciences but takes a narrative approach, giving examples and illustrations of ideas through stories, myths, and parables that act as metaphors and illustrations. Key topics and practices embedded in these stories include \u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eteaching the whole person \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003estrategies for creative teaching \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003enew understandings of process\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emeaning-centered learning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ebuilding community in the classroom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003estrengthening the student\/teacher relationship \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eproject-based learning \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eusing art and nature in teaching \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eembodied learning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eincorporating story and narrative in teaching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003erites of passage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eembracing the unpredictable, uncharted spaces in teaching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sam Crowell, David Reid-Marr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1475802552\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781475802559\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e R \u0026amp; L Education\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/11\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2013","brand":"Sam Crowell","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44123884814591,"sku":"9781475802559","price":42.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_11bf830d-2326-476e-98a0-9c7a5303d2b6.jpg?v=1687433459","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/emergent-teaching-sam-crowell-9781475802559","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
