Generating Tact and Flow for Effective Teaching and Learning [EPUB ebook] 

This book draws from and analyzes teachers‘ and students‘ stories of great classes in order to promote teachers‘ development of pedagogical tact and to encourage flow states for students. Taken together, these theoretical lenses-pedagogical tact and flow-provide a valuable framework for understanding and motivating classroom engagement. As the authors suggest, tactful teachers are more likely to see their students in flow than teachers who struggle with basic classroom routines and practices. Grounded in narrative research, and written for pre-service teachers, the book offers strategies for replicating these first-hand accounts of peak classroom teaching and learning.
