What happens when the world's most renowned educators and researchers get together to discuss the study of teaching? The synergy of this conversation results in the development of a new paradigm of teaching. This expanded definition includes not only the traditional technical approaches to effective teaching but also a look at the moral implications. The book contains 27 essays written by prominent experts in the field of education, all implying a common theme of the importance of values and responsible teaching. Attention is focused on the process of teaching/learning, sensitively addressing the whole child. The book is divided into eight sections entitled: Good Teaching; New Roles for Teachers and Students; The Moral Dimension; Developmental Perspectives; Expertise in Teaching; Content in Teaching; Toward Effective and Responsible Practice; and The New Synthesis. The work in this book contains a wealth of information about both effective and responsible teaching. It raises many essential questions and leaves the door open to several avenues of research. Highly recommended for all in education--students at all levels and faculty--especially researchers and curriculum designers. J. D. Davenport; California State University, Hayward
