Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Notes of Lessons for Young Teachers: With Models From Actual Examination Papers
IN teaching, as in all other professions, progress is slow and gradual. A youth begins with the purely mechanical parts Of his work, and spends much Of his time in learning how to use his tools and handle them efficiently. He must learn to serve before he can be permitted to rule. And it is only by practical experience and skill that he can hope to rise in his profession.
A young teacher spends much time in Observing and studying the example Of other teachers, and in purely mechanical work, such as the examination of the children's lessons, or the oversight of their writing and dictation. As his experience ripens, and his knowledge of the profession improves, he is promoted to a more responsible and important duty. He attempts to give lessons in reading, or Spelling. Or arithmetic. Thus he gradually gains knowledge, and experience, and confidence, and power.
The highest aim Of his ambition is to be able to give a good oral or collective lesson. He has seen a clever teacher take a class, or two or three classes grouped together, and give them a collective lesson; but he has no idea of the difficulty Of the task till he attempts to give a lesson for the first time.
