The Art of Attentive Teaching presents an innovative, creative and optimistic pedagogical approach based on recognizing every individualâs ability to acquire knowledge and understanding, while experiencing positive and enriching learning. Assuming that each and every learner experiences a unique set of learning processes in subject matter learning, teaching them has to be tailored to each and every learnerâs needs. This may seem impossible, especially in large, overcrowded classes. However, combining theory and practice, in this book you will find a variety of examples from different disciplines and ages, showing that with Attentive Teaching it is indeed possible to achieve this.
Professor Yaron Schur is the founder and head of the Institute of Attentive Teaching at the David Yellin Academic College. An education and science teaching professor, he has published many articles in innovative teaching for understanding and conceptual change processes.
