How fortunate for us that Joe Riener has distilled decades of teaching experience into these wise and eminently practical volumes. -- Daniel T. Willingham, professor, Department of Psychology, University of Virginia; frequent contributor to American Educator; author of Raising Kids Who Read, What Parents and Teachers Can Do and Why Don’t Students Like School, A Cognitive Scientist Answers Questions about How the Mind Works and… Instead of presenting us with humdrum aims, objectives, strategies, and skills, Riener takes us directly into literature—from Seamus Heaney to Atul Gawande to Mary Shelley. The point is not to prescribe a model but to invite us to read and think. A refreshing and inspiring read. -- Diana Senechal, author of Republic of Noise: The Loss of Solitude in Schools and Culture; teacher, Columbia Secondary School for Math, Science, and Engineering, NYC So very helpful to have access to a master teacher’s thoughts, in a clear and careful layout. Riener loves literature, and deeply appreciates the craft of writing, and its communicative and creative opportunities. What is surprising in this text is the depth in which Riener cares about ideas, and about his students as human beings in the process of learning to live their lives. This book is a terrific coaching guide for any new teacher to AP English courses. -- Dr. Shannon Payne, AP English teacher, Sacred Heart Academy, New Orleans, Louisiana As a young adult, I experienced Mr. Riener’s teaching first hand. The ideas I explored in his classroom, and the written and spoken dialogue we shared during my junior and senior years, have shaped my worldview and the way I approach literature and writing in powerful and lasting ways. When I became an English teacher myself, I took much from the experience of having been in his class to inform the way I engaged my students, discussed texts, and encouraged them to push themselves as writers and thinkers. I am extremely excited that Mr. Riener’s unique perspective on teaching will be available to other educators. -- Kate Winterkorn, former student; teacher in Portland, Oregon If you've ever wondered what it takes to get students to actually think, these volumes have your answer.
