Synopsis

Teaching is more than a job. It's a responsibility - one of the greatest responsibilities in civilized society. It's also an art form; one that requires craft, sensitivity, creativity, and intelligence. Whether your classroom consists of 3 students or 300, it's important to be as effective and successful a teacher as possible, both for the education of your students and for your own professional and personal growth. The Art of Teaching is delivered by award-winning Professor Allitt, a distinguished teacher with more than 30 years of classroom experience. The 24 lessons of this course include a veritable toolkit of tips, techniques, exercises, advice, and wisdom. You will travel across the country and sit inside the classrooms of some of the greatest universities in America, where you actually watch great teachers doing what they do best. It's this dynamic approach that makes the course a unique learning experience - one that gives you the knowledge on how to be an effective teacher, then demonstrates it for you. With its diverse perspectives, its immersive nature, and its unparalleled look at the lives and minds of a variety of instructors, The Art of Teaching will reshape the way you think about and approach this important profession. By the conclusion of the final lecture, you'll have an amazing reservoir of skills to draw on in your own teaching. Most important, you'll have found a source of guidance and inspiration that will last your entire career.
