Teaching Tales, Learning Trails

Reviews

Book review by a publisher, Pademelon Press
February 2019
Teaching Tales Learning Trails is an expression of the voices of a variety of stakeholders and their responses. I love the teachers’ stories about teaching. The passion and dedication they have for their craft and students is obvious in their tales. So much thought and detailed consideration has gone in to so many teachable moments and outcomes. The discussion that follows in the second part of the book is the community interaction. It is social justice in action as all voices are heard and given space. Together, those two parts are a celebration of really good pedagogical practice and learning outcomes are prioritised to the benefit of the community.

Why Can’t The Teacher And Parent See Eye To Eye?

The book has been a revelation. It’s raised some crucial questions for me that have made me rethink as to how I would like to parent my child with respect to her academics. I strongly believe it’s a must read for every parent and teacher who really wants to be mindful about making learning a fun experience. After all, for parents and teachers, understanding the mutual constraints and working together is in the child’s best interests.
