Title: Insightful and worth reading
Product review: Teaching, in many ways, has become a tightrope walk between creativity and standards. Do we teach students to memorize and study for tests or do we teach them to think? The essays presented in this book should be an essential part of any teacher education program, not to mention on any department bookshelf. What will serve students better - the ability to pass a test or the ability to think themselves through a given situation? In the era of testing, isn't it time to re-consider what we are doing to the next generation of students? Costa gathers insightful essays by various experts in a way that invites discussion and investigation. The book should not be read all at once, but taken piece by piece and used to enhance classroom inquiry for new and old teachers alike.
