Visualize Your Teaching

<p><em>Visualize Your Teaching</em> offers a unique way of helping educators see their own teaching so they can strengthen their practice. </p><p>Author Kyle Ezell uses a series of simple but compelling black and white graphics to take you through teaching’s parts, flows, and signals. He demonstrates that it’s important to be aware of what’s happening when playing distinctly different <em>parts</em> as you teach, depending on the context. <em>Flows</em> connect parts together over a lesson. He shows how to visualize the impact of how flows connect over a range of circumstances. You also need to be aware of how you respond to many different <em>signals</em> that appear, pushing and pulling the lesson plan. </p><p>Appropriate for teachers of all grade levels and subject areas, the book provides teaching scenario prompts for you to practice playing all the parts through self-observation and opportunities for you to diagram your own teaching. As you work through the pages, you’ll be able to visualize your performance the way athletes do, becoming more in tune with yourself. With this book as your batting cage, you will be increasing your impact on students in no time! </p> <p>Foreword Preface Introduction: "The Feeling" Students Get From Your Teaching 1.
