Description - Teaching in Eden by John Janovy, Jr.
Teaching in Eden is about a teacher's rebellion against the paradigms of higher education: the standardized lectures and multiple choice exams, the increasingly web-driven, audio-visual environment in multi-media teaching auditoriums and the educational bureaucracy's definitions of success. The idealism that fuels this rebellion is a direct result of John Janovy's experience at the Cedar Point Biological Station in the US, a place called Camelot, in recognition of its isolated beauty, its special instructional qualities and its vulnerability. This utterly unique book comes out of Janovy's quarter century of teaching science at Cedar Point. It provides teachers of any subject with powerful but virtually free tools that they can use to alter the fundamental nature of any educational experience. With insight and candour, Janovy reminds readers that it is essential to back away from the immediate demands of the teaching profession to discover the elements of an ideal instructional environment. Teaching in Eden guides teachers, and students in their own discovery and encourages us all to engage in the challenge and simplicity of this innovative educational practice.
