Product Description
Finally, a book for you teachers! Because making great photographs does not always translate into an ability to teach effectively. Teaching Photography will show you how to help your students expand their knowledge and abilities in the techniques, the aesthetics, and the way photography fits into a greater world of knowledge, by providing ideas for inspiring conversations and critiques, as well as insightful pointers regarding the learner's perspective in this new world. Teaching Photography approaches photographic education from a point of view that stresses the how and why of the education and not the technique to be taught.
* New ideas on critiques, evaluations, and planning
*Incorporates student artwork demonstrating direct results from critiquing sessions -- the good and the bad!
* Explores how photography fits into a greater world of knowledge and the importance of inspiring classroom discussions
* Learn from the interviews with professors who have seen it all

 Yes! February 8, 2008
Finally a book for the photo educator!!! This is long overdue and am thrilled to own it. As a relatively new high school photo teacher, it is a wonderful resource that discusses the technical and artistic considerations a teacher must deal with as well as writings on how to create assignments, test, assess, and work with your employing institution for betterment of the program. There is even more in it than I've listed here. For anyone interested in teaching photography I highly recommend this book. Although I have been trained in educational practices, so many of my colleagues have not, they are photographers who happen to teach... this book helps summarize so many points that I have discussed with them as they learn to teach.
 A rare gem November 26, 2007
As an instructor, I have relied on the shared experiences of the many contributors contained within this gem of a book. Its audience is a bit narrow, but I highly recommend it for anyone engaged in teaching imaging or working in imaging forensics.
This one is on my must have list.

Most of this stuff we learn in school...however, it's an excellent book if you're into the philosophy of teaching. A good book to read on sunday morning, with a cup of coffee. Do not expect a reference book.
 Advance levels only!! September 4, 2006

This book is a great book for those who are teaching either advance photography or at the college level. I am teaching a beginning class and this book was not much help. I was hoping for more lesson plan ideas and there were not as many as I had hoped. This book is probably a good book to read during abreak or over the summer, but not a good book for quick resources.

For anyone who teaches imaging (and that includes me), this book is a must read. The book is informative and entertaining. . . filled with quotes that will make you smile while inspiring you - to become a better teacher. For example: "Choose a job you love and you will never have to work a day in your life." - Confucius. All I can say is that we are fortunate that Dr. Zakia (whom I have met) chose teaching.
