Starting out - Teaching with your Mouth Shut - Donald Finkel

Just reading the title and diving in a bit I cannot believe how much teachers speak in classes in comparison to students. I think it has become an expectation, at least in many of the "workshops" I have been involved with, that the students will just sit and listen. Too much emphasis has been placed on lecture and telling students what they should know. It wasn't until the AET program where I began to realize that you don't have to spew information to teach. I am excited to dive further into this book.
