Reviews"John Gruber-Miller, Professor of Classics at Cornell College and a much respected pedagogue, has enlisted seven other pedagogy specialists in the production of this must-read volume. All teachers of classical languages, from grade school to graduate school, will benefit considerably from the book's myriad insights--as ultimately, and most importantly, will their students." --Classical Outlook"This is at heart a book in which intelligent colleagues thoughtfully discuss important issues, and all those involved ought to be applauded for their efforts. Gruber-Miller's collection is absolutely indispensible. The individual articles can give us something to chew on, suggest interesting approaches, share the successful methods of individual instructors, and push us to sharpen our own day-to-day teaching. This volume is by no means the last word on any ofthe topics covered, but it contributes in a meaningful way to a worthy conversation." --Bryn Mawr Classical Review"This is at heart a book in which intelligent colleagues thoughtfully discuss important issues, and all those involved ought to be applauded for their efforts.
