| Abstract
|
:
|
"On Teaching and Learning takes the ideas explored in renowned educator Jane Vella's best selling book Learning to Listen, Learning to Teach to the next level and explores how dialogue education has been applied in educational settings around the world. Throughout the book, she shows how to put the principles and practices of dialogue education into action and uses illustrative stories and examples from her extensive travels." "Dialogue education values inquiry, integrity, and commitment to equity - values that are also central to democracy. Learners are treated as worthy of respect, recognized for the knowledge and experience they bring to the learning experience. Dialogue education emphasizes the importance of safety and belonging. It is an approach that welcomes one's certainties and one's questions." "The principles and practices outlined in On Teaching and Learning can be applied to all levels of education, nonprofit organizations, government, and business. And to meet the demands of today's expanded learning environment, the book includes descriptions of how online courses can reflect the principles and practices of dialogue education." "Drawing on the basic assumption that teaching is for learning, On Teaching and Learning offers teachers a design for good learning, and not merely for good teaching."--BOOK JACKET.
