Why I'm reading this

This book was suggested by William Leachman. He said I'd enjoy it in connection with the Books of Titans Podcast.

My take

This book covered so much. It was extremely helpful and enlightening. It's broken up into four main parts - The Teacher, The Methods, Great Teachers & Pupils, and Everyday Teaching. We're all teachers in one way or another through parenting, employing, and instructing. It's important to acknowledge that and then to seek ways to most properly share the information with others. This book does that by considering great teachers of history, considering good and bad students, and looking at how teaching occurs in small ways in our daily lives. This is a book I will be referencing often.
