Heart and Mind in Teaching

In this book, authors Alyssa Magee Lowery and William Hayes trace the history of teaching from Greek philosophy to twenty-first century educational issues in an effort to provide some perspective in the long art versus science debate, ultimately finding that the two components may be able to coexist peacefully.

Alyssa Magee Lowery is a second year teacher who has ambitions of someday teaching on the collegiate level. William Hayes has been a high school social studies teacher, assistant principal, principal, and, for 21 years until his retirement, a superintendent of schools. Following his retirement, he served as chairman of the Teacher Education Division and as a professor at Roberts Wesleyan College in Rochester, New York.
