Synopsis

The writings within On Education expound the teaching philosophy and praxis, developed, refined and practiced over forty-five years in university and high school classrooms, of Stuart L. Cipinko. From an early article on the potential ethical problems in using simulation in the classroom to much later blog discussions with colleagues about the experience of online teaching, Mr Cipinko's own intellectual acuity, dry wit and profound belief in the importance of content based teaching shine throughout. In blog essays and letters he argues succinctly, astutely and passionately against the reduction of the teaching profession to that of technical assistant to students. Throughout the variety of pieces here, Mr Cipinko demonstrates by the content and quality of his own writing that which he sought always to provide his students: the wherewithal and opportunity to develop their own minds, critical reading, thinking and writing skills. A most pertinent collection of writing for our times.
