Product reviews for The Expert Teacher
Midwest Book Review
Synopsis: Darren Mead is an experienced science teacher who has been described as the Jimi Hendrix of teaching and perhaps the most intellectually engaged of all British teachers . Based in the north-east of England, he shares his classroom-based interpretations of research through his highly respected blog, Sharing Pedagogical Purposes.
In The Expert Teacher: Using Pedagogical Content Knowledge to Plan Superb Lessons he lays bare the concept of pedagogical content knowledge and eloquently explains how to utilise it to overcome student misconceptions, create contexts and connections in learning and teach difficult and important content empowering educators to transform their sub-ject knowledge into multiple means of representing it in teachable ways.
The intention of The Expert Teacher is to help classroom teachers to reflect on what and how they plan, how they teach and how to improvise around these plans, and to pave the way for deep professional thinking about best practice. It is split into two parts entitled How is Your Subject Learned? and Expert Teaching and Learning and provides educators with a variety of practical tools, illuminating examples and flexible frameworks geared to help them underpin and reinforce the very ampersand in expert teaching & learning.
The Expert Teacher is not for teachers seeking quick fixes or superficial tricks, rather it is designed for educators who are eager to experience the excitement of knowing and teaching their subject masterfully.
Critique: Thoughtful and thought-provoking, exceptionally insightful and -˜real world practical', thoroughly -˜user friendly' in organization and presentation, The Expert Teacher: Using Pedagogical Content Knowledge to Plan Superb Lessons is a unique and unreservedly recommended addition to school district, college, and community library Teacher Education & Classroom Management instructional resource collections. It should be noted for the personal reading lists of student teachers, classroom educators, school administrators, academia, and non- specialist general readers.
