Artistry

The way we teach is the result of reflection and many years of practice. This is a guide to teaching based on a philosophy of teaching built up over the years.

I was a high school science teacher, and and university science educator for nearly 40 years.  For the past 17 years I’ve been writing The Art of Teaching Science blog, buying and selling 18th and 19th Century English and French antiques, and more recently, learning to draw and paint.

Artistry is a guide is not only a personal account of teaching, but also based on research on teaching. I think it is important to acknowledge our personal view of teaching–to talk and write about it. I hope that this guide will help you think about your teaching.

The Artistry of Teaching

There are eight aspects of the artistry of teaching as shown in the Table of Contents on this page. 

Courage, wisdom and inquiry are key ideas that run through this guide. These ideas have been fundamental to teaching for many years. 

Each of these aspects of teaching is a blog post on the Art of Teaching Science.  One of the e-books based on these blog posts is The Artistry of Teaching, available on Kindle..
