Description:

As Jane Vella travels in her work, audiences old and new often request an up-to-date set of stories on the application of the principles and practices of Dialogue Education. This book corroborates those principles and practices through stories from diverse situations in which she has found herself teaching and learning in the past five years.

Synopsis:

On Teaching and Learning takes the ideas explored in renowned educator Jane Vella's best-selling book Learning to Listen, Learning to Teach to the next level and explores how dialogue education has been applied in educational settings around the world. Throughout the book, she shows how to put the principles and practices of dialogue education into action and uses illustrative stories and examples from her extensive travels. Dialogue education values inquiry, integrity, and commitment to equity-values that are also central to democracy. Learners are treated as beings worthy of respect, recognized for the knowledge and experience they bring to the learning experience. Dialogue education emphasizes the importance of safety and belonging. It is an approach that welcomes one's certainties and one's questions.
