Methods of Teaching: A Handbook of Principles, Directions, and Working Models for Common-school Teachers

This text is a handbook for teachers, providing guidance and strategies for effective teaching in common schools. Written by John Swett, an influential educator in California in the 19th century, the book covers a wide range of topics, including classroom management, curriculum development, and strategies for engaging students. The text is notable for its emphasis on the principles of child-centered education, an approach that prioritizes the needs and interests of individual students, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. The book remains a valuable resource for teachers and educators today, and provides insights into the history of American education.
