Bashir dawood is probably best known for his co-authored book “The teacher” which chronicled the path of a teacher in the creation of a textbook. The editors of the book were, at their core, readers, and critics who combined to form a theme. The people behind the pages of “The teacher” were not writers but thinkers as well as practitioners. They were, therefore, called Teachers. In this special episode, we discuss Bashir Dawood’s life and work, particularly his seminal work “The teacher” which explains why and how teachers learn. We will also look at other important works by other educators including “Sketches for Students” and “Teaching Ideas for Classroom Management”. Check out our main page for more episodes:
