Teaching by Heart
Author: Thomas J. DeLong
Publisher: Harvard Business Press
ISBN: 163369853X
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 190
Book Description
The best teachers are leaders, and the best leaders are teachers. Teaching by Heart summarizes the author's key insights gained from more than forty years of teaching and managing. It illustrates how teachers can both lift people up and let them down. It proposes that the best teachers are also leaders, and the best leaders are also teachers. In examining how to lead and teach, renowned Harvard Business School professor Thomas J. DeLong takes the reader inside his own head and heart. He notes that, as teachers, we often focus more on our inadequacies and missteps than on our strengths and unique talents. He explains why this is so by dissecting and analyzing his own experiences--using himself as a case study. The book's goal is to help readers learn about the intricacies of teaching and managing, and to impart lessons about how teachers can create a unique teaching atmosphere. To do this, the author analyzes the process of creating a curriculum, preparing for an eighty-minute class, managing the fifteen minutes before class begins, and evaluating the nature of the teaching experience after the session concludes. Along the way, he connects specific classroom behaviors with leadership issues--in organizations, in teams, and in personal relationships. He also asks--and answers--some provocative questions, such as: What happens on multiple levels when I teach or lead--with me, students, or professionals? What am I thinking and feeling as I process what students are thinking and feeling? How are my internal conversations affecting how I teach and lead? How do I manage my biases, including having "favorite" students? To what extent can I use teaching methods in the arena of management? Throughout Teaching by Heart, DeLong discusses why empathy and authenticity matter. When teachers embrace this mindset, students have the opportunity to have a unique learning experience. Teachers and managers will learn how to create moments of transformation for students. Whether you're a university professor, a student, a business leader, or just someone fascinated by teaching, this book will instruct, entertain, and--hopefully--inspire.

Cruise of the Heart
Author: Robert Ferre
Publisher: Labyrinth Enterprises
ISBN: 9780977961252
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
Robert D. Ferr describes in exquisite detail his daily life on a huge cruise ship crossing the Atlantic Ocean. This memoir wrapped around a travelogue keeps the reader glued to every page as the ship relentlessly plows across three thousand miles of ocean at twenty knots. Between accounts of crisp morning walks on the promenade deck, splendid gourmet meals and a variety of evening entertainment, the author ruminates about a wide range of fascinating subjects: the history of ocean liners, the construction of Gothic cathedrals, his newfound love with Linda, prison time as a conscientious objector, his former wife Ruth's cancer journey, gambling systems, the secret of happiness, and much more. Going to sea has frequently been a means to escape, to lose one's self. But for Robert and Linda, crossing the ocean has empowered them to find themselves. While some enjoy cruise ships as a means to party or see the world, for this retirement-age couple it becomes a tale of new love, renewal and celebration. Within that safe and supportive space, Robert ponders some of the more poignant moments of his life. He reminds us that one's most personal experiences are also the most universal, with which we can all identify. The majority of books about life onboard cruise ships, written by young former crew or staff members, are filled with accounts of sex and drinking and debauchery. In a different vein, Cruise of the Heart provides perhaps the most detailed account of day to day shipboard life-for a mature passenger-to be found in modern literature. It describes dinners and menu choices, outlines a day's activities, and reviews the evening performers. The pages are brimming with observations as Robert interviews both a high-ranking officer and the cruise director. With 13 others, he takes an extensive tour of the inner workings of the ship, normally closed to the view of passengers. His review of the ship's gourmet restaurant is insightful if somewhat critical. Humorously, Robert and Linda take dance lessons, and then forget all of their newly acquired moves the next time they are on the dance floor. A reviewer reading a preview of this book on the CreateSpace website made the following comments. This is an excellent example of how good, even inspired, writing can take a fairly ordinary event and make it (into) a completely delightful read. And as all good books do, it delights, informs, inspires, and creates a wonderful space where you feel like you want to do something, to have a similar experience. . .. The end of the book contains an extensive bibliography and resource section reflecting how extremely well-versed the author is in the subjects about which he writes. The book exudes an infectious joy and energy that Robert D. Ferr brings to his writing-about Linda, cruise ships, ports of call, the many moods of the sea, and much more. His curious mind takes him far beyond a basic travelogue and the lucky reader-whether an experienced cruiser or one who has yet to experience a cruise ship-gets a front row seat. With their appetites for cruising whetted, the readers will be glad to learn that a second volume is in the works. The website associated with this book can be found at cruiseoftheheart.com.
