Overview
Reflections on Teaching, A Passion for Learning by Dr. Mark Christensen, looks back over his four decades in the classroom,and may come at just the right time in the history of Teacher Training and Methods Classes. The upheaval of the 2020 Covid 19 Pandemic has been one of the most drastic era's facing education since the early 1900s. Dr. Christensen has written a book for the times-it is one that offers a spiritual reaching out, a time of renewal and re-organization. One that questions our resources. Prospective teachers are the target audience as current teachers have experienced a crisis in education and a toxic burden that seems unsolveable in its scope.The Book walks us through the emotional underpinnings of the classroom relationships. "We are all teachers. We can't help it. We teach just by living, by interacting with others. By setting examples, good or bad. Some teaching is more intentional of course, as parents teach children about safety, morals and hygiene; coaches teach athletic skills and thought patterns?.This book is not intended to be a lecture, or even a piece to be read from beginning to end, though I invite you to do so. It isn't even a book about how to teach, as that is far too large an aspiration for me to attempt. It is meant to be a book to be opened to any random page in hopes that the reflection you fall upon is one you can build upon as you develop your own presence in your own life."
