Chapter 7: Thinking about Teaching and Learning

The book "The Joy of Teaching" gives me a lot of insight on my teaching philosophy. One thing I got from the book was Ralph W. Tyler's approach to teaching. I think that his steps make a lot of sense. I liked how his approach sounded lees scientific than everyone else's approach. Another idea I am going to take from the book is that a teacher should keep in mind how people learn and develop mentally. One idea I did not like in chapter seven was using the philosophy of existentialism in teaching. I feel this philosophy is very inappropriate for a teacher to use.
