About this book
A carefully taught grammar lesson gives William C. Bagley a practical example of teaching as a craft. Addressing new teachers, he connects their work with the patient attention of a house painter finishing a door. His collected papers explore how professional ideals, training and command of technique shape classroom work. The opening argues that initial preparation gives teachers a start, while finer skills require years of practice and deliberate effort. Pride in doing a task well becomes a source of lasting interest in the profession.
Other papers address supervision, efficiency, study habits, literature, drill and the scientific spirit in education. Bagley's recollection of meeting the St. Louis principal Charles Howard shows how experience can reshape theories learned from books. Howard's emphasis on children's seriousness makes their conversation a lesson in careful observation. For readers studying educational thought, the collection brings broad arguments about schooling into contact with particular lessons, professional encounters and the everyday demands of teaching.
