On Being a Teacher

The Courage to Teach Parker Palmer (Jossey-Bass, 1998) LB 1775 .P25 1998

Argues that, rather than methodology as the key to excellent teaching, teaching grows out of the teacher's self-knowledge. Discusses how fear inhibits teaching and learning, the importance of community in learning, and putting the subject, rather than either the student or teacher, at the center of the classroom.
