Metateaching and the Instructional Map (Teaching Techniques/Strategies Series, V. 1)

Author, William Timpson presents his conception of metateaching. Just as metacognition is the idea of thinking about thinking, metateaching is the idea of thinking about teaching. Your mind will be infused with new, innovative -- yet practical -- ways to think about your classroom after reading this book.

You will learn about the Instructional Map, a systematic tool to help you organize your classes and visualize the direction, components, and impact of different aspects of teaching. Ideas from the fields of cartography and orienteering will give you a fresh angle from which to view your teaching practice.
