A probing and absorbing look at teaching of high school English\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guttridge\u2019s latest book is an astute collection of eight scholarly essays in the teaching of high school English. With his decades of experience in teaching English literature, Gutteridge demonstrates a strong grasp of what works or doesn\u2019t in the classroom. \u201cThe View from Darien: The Drama of Literature in the High School Classroom \u2013 Part 1 The English Quarterly XV, 1(Spring 1982)\u201d addresses the most significant question\u2014how does a successful teacher consistently and systematically achieve the highest cognitive and affective goals\u2014goals which often prove to be elusive for many teachers who care but find it hard to cope. Because even if all the variables (the teacher\u2019s personality, style, the methodology, the course of study, the school atmosphere among others) are favorable, the possibility of failure is still there to rule it out completely. In \u201cThe Subject-Centred Curriculum: Last Chance or Lost Cause? English Quarterly, vol. 4, no. 4 (Fall, 1971),\u201d Gutteridge makes an argument in favour of a subject-centred school curriculum, insisting teachers must breathe new life into their methods and procedures and adapt to change where necessary without losing sight of the worthwhile goals implicit in a discipline-centered form of education. In \u201cThe Process of Reading Fiction: A Modest Hypothesis Indirections I6, 3, September 1991,\u201d he ponders the question of \u2018what goes on in the mind of a reader as he or she is \u2018reading\u2019 an aesthetic text for the first time: moment-by-moment and unencumbered by explicit pedagogical constraint?\u2019 Though many articles are decade-old, the book makes for a valuable guidebook for teachers at any stage of their career, from beginners to experienced. Filled with eye-opening insights, practical tips, and handy examples, the book will engage new teachers to think and grow as a professional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
