THE TACT OF TEACHING is a thought-provoking book that offers an original perspective on the meaning and practice of teaching as a reflective activity.
Using dozens of anecdotes and scenes taken directly from life in classrooms, including many from the often-neglected domain of high school, THE TACT OF TEACHING explicates the meaning of pedagogical moments, the conditions of pedagogy, the relation between pedagogy and politics, the nature of pedagogical experience, and the practical forms of pedagogical understanding. It speaks of hope and humane practice in an era of schooling often given over to mindless technocracy or fashionable despair.
