Their stories illustrate that they do not follow the tenets of the social science improvement paradigm, which was proposed by education professors in the 1950s and has been promoted by policymakers since the 1970s. Instead, these stories illustrate that teachers improve instruction by bringing the six virtues of the educated person to their dealings with students. In other words, their stories illustrate an aesthetic improvement paradigm. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart 1\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Stories from 5 elementary school teachers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Stories from 4 middle school teachers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Stories from 8 high school teachers\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart 2\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4: Stories from a GED tutor, a physical therapist, 2 athletic coaches, and a piano teacher\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Stories from 2 music teachers, a pastor, a Goodwill trainer and a Team building consultant\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBibliography\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout the author\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rowman \u0026 Littlefield","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040324190551,"sku":"9781475858686","price":23.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781475858686.jpg?v=1750946384","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/improving-instruction-9781475858686","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
