Teachable Moments will look at various pieces of the vocation of what it means to be a teacher in our school buildings today - through all of the most impactful reforms on the fabric of American education. As administrators, we see the push for the need to create data tables and pie charts in an attempt to make conclusions about improving instructional practices to encourage student performance. Some things - many moments - cannot be quantified, however. So, where do we begin? There is absolutely no singular starting point, but the experience of the teaching practitioner is vast, and goes far beyond that which can be measured numerically. Our vocation, and its many ups and downs, often cannot be assigned a neat number. This book will examine the ways in which school districts approach these educational changes, through the lens of the teacher. From one-on-one teacher interactions with each other, to those memorable moments with students, this book will be a collection of rich essays that capture the experience of the newer teacher.

Industry Reviews

As a special education teacher and new teacher mentor, I find the variety of perspectives in Mr. Fare's and Ms. Coyle's book to be a roadmap to help new and experienced teachers alike navigate the difficult terrain of education. I believe this valuable resource could improve new teacher retention rates in even the most difficult schools. -- Holly Driscoll-Soden, teacher, Los Angeles Unified School District
When working with children and young adults, you need to be able to take what you have read and quickly put it into action. Teachable Moments does just that. The authors brilliantly take all of the important 'stuff' we need to know as educators and use a case-study approach to help the novice teacher think through situations that they will undoubtedly encounter as a practicing educator. -- Christopher Marino, director of leadership strategy, Boston Public Schools
