Description

This book focuses on thirty-three rules or principles that educators often fail to pay heed to in their professional activity. These are rules that are vaguely articulated or even left unsaid when preparing contemporary teachers. Teaching Is More Than Pedagogical Practice also helps teachers cope with a wide range of confusing and challenging situations. Among other things, the author recommends that educators:
-have a good understanding of fundamental humanistic values;
-have a special love and a tender affection for children with alternative behavior and alternative health;
-know a child's genealogy;
-beware of dishonesty toward children and adolescents;
-avoid favoritism;
-know children's learning styles;
-avoid excessive experimenting with students;
- treat each learner as his or her own child;
-use means and techniques of folk pedagogy.

Reviews

Sinagatullin's residency at Kent State University in the early part of this decade introduced us to his ability to research a topic thoroughly, and to take a fresh look at continuing issues in education. In his latest book, Teaching Is More Than Pedagogical Practice, he once again provides insight into issues of respecting diversity, the unique contribution of rural educators, of providing student-centered instruction, and being a professional in all that we do as educators. -- Linda Robertson, Gerald H.

This book represents a collection of strategies for educational counseling and suggestions for dealing with students in today's society. Ilghiz M. Sinagatullin has intelligently crafted this book for the noblest people on earth: educators. His insightful experience as an educator and his intensive travel experiences to view different educational systems have brought a perspective rarely seen. You are holding an education in a single book. This is a pedagogical book of the year-any year! -- Milton Bailey, Retired after 30 years of teaching in secondary and college level schools
Teaching Is More than Pedagogical Practice by Ilghiz Sinagatullin should be required reading for every individual in the field of education. Sinagatullin's thirty-three rules provoke self-analysis for the developing teacher, reflection for the teacher educator, and help teachers redefine how they view their roles and responsibilities. He writes about the things that educators rarely hear about or hear very little about. -- Cynthia J. Hutchinson, Department of Educational Studies, College of Education, University of Central Florida
