| Inside Education: Depth Psychology in
Teaching and Learning by Clifford Mayes Depth psychology offers a wonderful lens by which to examine the teaching/ learning project.

A college classroom is, in essence, a teacher and some students. Your job as the teacher is to teach. The student’s job is to learn. If only it were really so simple. On today’s college campuses, there’s no such thing as the typical student or even the teacher. Diversity abounds (among both students and faculty) across several dimensions: generation, racial/ethnic background, and socioeconomic status, among many others. |

The
Deep Approach: The Deep Approach is the outgrowth of a program in language learning and community building. The project paired Spanish student teachers with elementary classes in which there were native Spanish speakers. The Spanish speaking students became "authorities" and helped the other students to learn and the teachers to teach. As a result, the "Spanish Cart" days became a highlight each week for all the students — and the teachers.

Teaching
& Performing To be or not to be. That is the question. To be a teacher-performer or not to be. Authors Timpson and Burgoyne assert that teachers are inherently performers and as such, techniques from the stage enhance and expand a teacher’s ready repertoire of discipline-based content. While teachers are trained as planners and scholars, very few are trained as performers. Using performance theory, the authors show how an educator can transform ordinary classroom experiences into occasions that attract and engage the students. In this second edition of Teaching and Performing, the authors expand on the possibilities of using warm-up exercises, assuming roles, props, lighting, blocking, energy, concentration, and a variety of other techniques important to good theatre and good teaching.
