Reseña

Having been employed in several educational institutions at the primary
and secondary levels as a Chaplain, I found this manual to be very
insightful and helpful for those who are either preparing to teach or are
teaching and want to reinforce their skills. It reminded me of the more
classical paradigm of “master and disciples” of the ancient philosophers
where the disciples learned not only concepts, ideas and skills that were
formally taught, but also learned how to live by observing the master
in his or her life. This manual reminds teachers that their example may
be of more value than all of the other information they transmit. The
“case studies” cover a wide range of experiences, which albeit fictitious,
reflect the challenges faced in education today. The different suggested
methodologies for handling the case histories offer to keep the treatment
of complicated situations very lively. The lessons learned are invaluable
and will undoubtedly help teachers in the daily challenge to teach by their
example.
