Todays\u2019 post is inspired by reading Chapter 4 of Stephen Brooksfield\u2019s book The Skillful Teacher.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>
Stephen Brookfield (2006) The Skillful Teacher. On technique, trust and responsivness in the classroom (San Francisco: Jossey Bass)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

What follows is a crude summary of the chapter entitled \u201cWhat students value in teachers\u201d. It is also inspired in the background, by a rather nonsensical article (in my view) in a recent \u2018Comment is Free\u2019 post in the Guardian entitled \u201cWhy do private schools attract the most memorable teachers?\u201d<\/a> This view is mostly backed-up the fact that Alan Bennett\u2019s \u2018History Boys\u2019 has been voted Britain\u2019s favourite play. The piece then goes on about as other teachers from fiction, yes fiction.
