ABSTRACT
FOCUS In Chapter 1 you looked at your personal educational and musical history. There you began the process of identifying and articulating various influences on your beliefs and ideas about teaching. The organizing theme in Chapter 2 is learning to teach. A central idea in learning to teach is change and development with the belief that developmental growth is predicated on examining current teaching/learning experiences in light of future action. A significant goal of this chapter is coming to realize that change is a necessary part of development. Key questions explored in this chapter focus on how teachers become successful at what they do, how teachers learn to “act” like teachers, and how teachers begin to “think” like teachers.
