Synopsis
The Feeling of Teaching is part of a larger project, Teaching through Emotions (TTE), developed by the author, Elizabeth Burris. The project is based on these premises: * that teaching and learning depend on relationships; * that teaching is fraught with emotion, often negative; * that working through emotions can help illuminate the nature of our relationships, which can point to ways we can improve our teaching; and * that teachers need support in surviving and understanding the emotions and relationships that necessarily accompany teaching and learning. This book describes the TTE approach to teaching. This approach welcomes emotions, even the most negative ones, and uses them to figure out better ways to relate to students and help them learn what teachers want them to learn. In addition, TTE is a way for teachers to get relief. By acknowledging feelings and working through them to crystal-clear understanding and self-change, TTE allows teachers to connect with students in sometimes shockingly effective and satisfying ways. It can turn misery into joy and amazement. And that's what teaching should be about.
