The Wisdom of Practice: Essays on Teaching, Learning, and Learning to Teach

Description:

What do teachers need to know in order to teach well? How important is the depth and quality of teachers' content knowledge as a critical aspect of their ability to teach? How can teachers best be educated, and how can we assess their accomplishments as teachers? In what ways is the professional preparation of teachers comparable to the preparation of physicians and other members of learned professions? What kinds of educational research can provide deeper understanding of teaching, learning, and the reform of education? These are just some of the many questions answered in this landmark collection of Lee Shulman's best work. A pioneer in the field of teaching and teacher research, Shulman's work and thinking have long influenced teachers and researchers. But while Shulman is one of the most widely cited scholars in education, his writings have been scattered among a variety of books and journals—until now.

The Wisdom of Practice at last makes Shulman's major works on K-12 education and teacher education available in one volume. His interests in teaching of all sorts—in K-12 schools, in teacher education, in graduate programs for educational researchers, in liberal education—have been diverse. The essays included touch on such wide-ranging topics as the psychology of school subjects, medical problem solving, teacher knowledge, performance assessment, teaching in higher education, the scholarship of teaching and learning, the characteristics and pedagogies of the professions, the role of cases in professional education and research, and the character of relevant and rigorous educational research.

Review

“Lee Shulman’s intellectual sweep is daunting, but at the center of all his work is a passion for teaching. Now his wise words and powerful insights about the enterprise of teaching have been assembled in one indispensable volume.”
—Howard Gardner, professor of cognition and education, Harvard Graduate School of Education

"’Those who understand, teach.’" Lee Shulman's contributions to our collective understanding of teaching have brought honor to the teaching profession and wisdom  to the field. When I want to gain insight, I read Shulman. This collection of his work is a magnificent gift to us all.”
—Linda Darling-Hammond, Charles E. Ducommun Professor of Education, Stanford University

“Lee Shulman offers every teacher, and all those interested in teaching, a kind of deep wisdom that shifts the way we see our simplest daily acts of teaching. I come away from these essays challenged and excited to go into the class tomorrow with new eyes for what’s happening. To have this all together—what a precious gift.”
—Deborah W. Meier, co-principal, Mission Hill School in Boston and author,
The Power of Their Ideas and In Schools We Trust

“There is no one more thoughtful about matters concerning teaching, learning, and learning to teach than Lee Shulman. To have his various writings collected in one place is a gift to all of us who are concerned about education. These essays should be required reading for scholars, teachers, parents, and those who simply want to understand how we come to know.”
—Ellen Condliffe Lagemann, dean, Harvard Graduate School of Education
