The Art and Science of Teaching

• Thinking about your own teaching practices and those of your peers, what habits would you consider characteristic of the “art” of teaching?

• Can you think of a specific situation where your professional practice drew from both the art of teaching and the research on teaching?

• What are the pitfalls of teaching that is all art? What are the pitfalls of teaching that is all science?

Just do it

“Teaching is not rocket science…”

Good teachers in any age have found teaching demanding. It involves not only the science of teaching but the art of building complex relationships that establish trust, engender respect and encourage young people to take risks in order to grow and to learn continually.

“It is, in fact, far more complex and demanding work than rocket science.” (Richard Elmore, Harvard Graduate School of Education)
