{"product_id":"teaching-with-your-mouth-shut-donald-finkel-9780867094695","title":"Teaching with Your Mouth Shut","description":"\u003cp\u003eOur traditional \"Great Teacher\" teaches by telling, inspiring students through eloquent, passionate oration. For Donald Finkel this view is destructively narrow: it takes for granted that teachers teach, fundamentally and centrally, by telling students what they are supposed to know. In \u003ci\u003eTeaching with Your Mouth Shut, \u003c\/i\u003e Finkel proposes an alternative vision of teaching--one that is deeply democratic in its implications. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Each chapter in this book presents a case study, a story, or a sustained image of a teaching situation--a set of \"circumstances\" that produces significant learning in students. Each makes sense of the title of the book in a particular way. Each enriches its meaning by one increment. The idea of \"teaching with your mouth shut\" is explored, exemplified, and varied to such an extent that it ultimately specifies a comprehensible approach to teaching--along with a host of concrete teaching possibilities. In the end, not only will your notion of good teaching be transformed, but so too your sense of what may be signified by the word \"teaching\" itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eTeaching with Your Mouth Shut\u003c\/i\u003e is not intended as a manual for teachers; it aims to provoke reflection on the many ways teaching can be organized. The book engages its readers in a conversation about education. Thus, its purpose is not so much to reform education as it is to provoke fruitful dialogue about teaching and learning among people who have a stake in education.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Donald Finkel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0867094699\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780867094695\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Heinemann Educational Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/03\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.24h x 6.58w x 0.47d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2000 pg. 131","brand":"Donald Finkel","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994021331199,"sku":"9780867094695","price":49.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a1b16799-60d2-40a6-873c-82491b9dea63.jpg?v=1683327660","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/teaching-with-your-mouth-shut-donald-finkel-9780867094695","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
