ABSTRACT
When asked the question “What is real-life teaching?” most teachers will respond that real-life teaching means relating the skills they teach to real life. They’re correct-partially. But they’ve quite possibly missed the absolute key component in the definition of true real-life teaching. This is the component that the most effective teachers always include in their definition of real-life teaching. The very best teachers will define real-life teaching as follows:
Real-life teaching means relating the skills I teach to the real lives of my students! We sincerely believe that all teachers teach their students in the best way
they know how. And that leads us to assume that many teachers simply do not know what the best teachers know. If they did, they would do what the best teachers do! And thus, of course, the purpose of this book-to share the secrets of the very best teachers so that other willing teachers can join these ranks.
