Craftsmanship in Teaching

Description

William C. Bagley's Craftsmanship in Teaching is a foundational text that reframes the art of instruction as a skilled craft rather than a mechanical process. Drawing on the philosophy of craftsmanship, Bagley argues that effective teaching requires the same dedication to practice, attention to detail, and commitment to mastery that any artisan applies to their craft. The book challenges the industrial model of education and advocates for an approach where teachers are viewed as skilled practitioners rather than mere deliverers of standardized content.\n\nThis is essential reading for educators at any level — from preservice teachers to veteran instructors — who believe that teaching is a craft worth honing. The EPUB edition allows you to carry these principles with you, annotate, and revisit them as you refine your own practice. Discover why the craft metaphor has transformed teacher education and how you can apply these principles to your classroom today.
