Called to Teach

Called To Teach by William Yount is an excellent book for all interested or gaining knowledge in the field of teaching. It can be used within a diverse assortment of subfields such as Christian Education, Motivational/Inspirational Speakers, Generalized Public Speaking,Private or Ppublic Education,and Trade teaching occupations. It provides the scientific,psychological, and biblical aspects to the foundations of education incorporating the teacher and student and the roles they play as recipients or initiators. The imagery within the book are true to life scenarios so relating to the issues are almost innate. Nyack College has incorporated another book of William Yount and I will not hesitate to share what I have learned from this one. This book should be in every teachers' library.

Called to Teach is not just another book for teaching method, its unique focus is based on the Christian model of teaching. Therefore teaching becomes incomplete when one knows solely on teaching, the key to the successful teaching determines by the heart of the teacher. The effect of teaching in the Lord can profoundly touch eternity. The key principle of becoming a successful teacher is to humble ourselves before God, a life submission. The root of teaching model in book is built on the idea of ¡§dynamic synergism¡¨. Dynamic synergism literally means combined elements with a driving force. The book is consistently focused on three elements of teaching and learning: heart, head, and hand. These elements are inseparable if one wishes to become a dynamic synergist. One thing I like the most about the book is its emphasis on the heart of teacher, a heart that would go beyond just teaching, rather it is a heart for life change teaching.
