Books by Seymour B. Sarason

This work probes the topic of teaching as a performing art, focusing on the role of teachers in galvanizing an audience - their students. It argues that teachers will better engage learners if they are prepared in the ""artistry"" of doing so.

In this second edition of his original insightful collection of letters to the first president of the 21st century, Seymour B. Sarason details how to rethink school reform.

This title discusses: why people choose to become teachers; the changing efforts to reform teacher education; and the factors that have not been considered when developing teacher-training programmes.

So many reformers talk about fundamental changes in schooling without understanding what such deep changes entail for children, teachers, and administrators. Seymour Sarason does. In his provocative, mind-bAnding and passionate style, Sarason again argues against short-term repairs of schools.

Once again, Sarason leads the way, with a unique and provocative perspective on organizational collaboration. In this penetrating work, Sarason and Lorenz tackle the problem of decreased in schools and health and social service agencies.

"Sarason challenges educators to understand that to continue to struggle for 'power over' rather than 'power with' overlooks the mutual interest of all parties that will stifle any real progress in education reform. In a classroom utilizing effective teaching practices students would respond to the question, 'How do you rate this book?' with all thumbs up." --Choice
