Building a better teacher : how teaching works (and how to teach it to everyone)

Elizabeth Green (Author)
"Launched with a hugely popular New York Times Magazine cover story, Building a Better Teacher established Elizabeth Green as a leading voice in education. Green's fascinating, accessible, and teacher positive narrative dispels the common myth of the "natural-born teacher" and introduces maverick educators exploring the science behind their art. Her dramatic account reveals that great teaching is not magic, but a skill--a skill that can be taught."--Page 4 of cover
