The Seven Laws of Teaching: Foreword by Douglas Wilson & Evaluation Tools by Dr. Larry Stephenson

Excellent book.WORD OF WARNING: After hearing high praise for this book, I had initially purchased it from a different publisher (sold on Amazon). That version had not only been redacted to remove Christian-based content, but the language throughout had actually been rewritten in such a way that the author appeared to have been writing from a distinctly secular worldview.The flow, content, and overall quality of writing in this restored version greatly surpasses that butchered version, not to mention the enlightening spiritual illustrations and applications that add another level of depth in establishing the pedagogical principles.

Excellent. This is really good, I have learned a lot. I especially liked the summation given at the end of the book of each LAW. This really helps to review and make sure you are on task for understanding and properly carrying out each law. Also there is an evaluation of teachers based on the laws here, which I thought is excellent to evaluate myself and if I were supervising other teachers, could use it to evaluate their teaching. In a world of sub par teachers, Gregory's own example and pursuit of excellence is incredibly inspiring and motivating to be the best teacher possible to produce students of integrity, knowledge, and minds bend on inquiry, examination, and the artful expression of truth.

I will teach differently. Next year there will be more homework that is at the lower order of Maslow. Work in class will be focused on the higher levels and review to mastery will be our goal.

This classic work first published in 1884 should be part of the curriculum for all schools training teachers. That it is still being reprinted (the 10th printing was in 2003) is a testimony to the timeless value of the author's wisdom contained within its pages. There are times when the old ways are the best ways and this book is one of those. Public schools, the failures that they are, would do well to scrap modern pedagogy and practice The Seven Laws of Teaching.This book isn't just for the teaching profession: it is also an excellent training manual for pastors, Bible teachers and Sunday School teachers.

I really enjoyed reading through this gem. Readers will find many nuggets of insight into both teaching and learning. The book is also short and to the point with a clear, logical flow both at the chapter level as well as the ordering of the book as a whole. Warmly recommended!

Pleased.

This should be required reading for all who teach, especially those in the Sunday School who teach children the eternal word of God.

This book is a must-read for anyone concerned with imparting knowledge to others.

First published in 1884, 'The Seven Laws of Teaching' offers a clear, practical guide to the laws governing the art of teaching. Eductational fads come and go, but foundational principles never change. John Milton Gregory, succinctly offers the reader seven factors that contribute to successful teaching in any setting. For the busy classroom teacher, this short book shuns superfluous nonsence and gets to the core of what it takes to be a great teacher.

A must read book for any teacher, beginning or experienced. Bloody shame this book wasn't introduced to me wile I was in a Christian teacher's college. What a joke.
