How to Teach

"How to Teach" by George D. (George Drayton) Strayer is a guide to education that explains effective teaching through a psychological lens, focusing on methods and goals. It highlights understanding learners and growing them for community success, not just for themselves. It starts by laying out how to use psychology in classrooms to boost teaching and help society. The book says good teaching means seeing real changes in how kids learn and act. Early on, it talks about what teachers do, how teamwork helps learning, and why schools should teach kids to be good citizens. The authors disagree with older ideas that education is just about knowledge or culture, pushing for a view that education is for everyone's good.
