Book Review: The Elements of Teaching (original) (raw)

In their book, Banner and Cannon dissect ten essential qualities of effective teaching, including learning, authority, ethics, and compassion. Through thorough examination, real-world examples, and a focus on the art of teaching, the authors argue that while these qualities are innate and cannot be taught, they can be nurtured and cultivated. The book serves as a guide for both experienced educators and novices, emphasizing the importance of reflective practice and the joy of teaching as crucial components for fostering a successful educational environment.
