Description

One of the secrets of good teaching is asking yourself: How would a world-famous teacher like Nightingale have tackled this subject? How would she have challenged and inspired her students to become better and more efficient? How would Gandhi have challenged his students to understand and the deal with this particular injustice? What would Hildegarde have answered this particular student's question? How did Galileo make his concepts of planetary motion mean something to his lab assistant? What method did Muhammad hit upon to widen the horizons of his illiterate followers? Why did Hildegarde invent an isolation and meditation chamber? Why did she involve her students in elaborate projects to produce illuminated manuscripts and to prepare moving songs for her students to sing in harmony?

The teaching methods of Muhammad, Hildegard, Galileo, Nightingale and Gandhi were so effective that they changed the lives of millions. Five lectures tell you how they did it. Try some of these wonderful teaching methods for yourself!
