Friesen Norm Tact and the Pedagogical Relation

<EM>Tact and the Pedagogical Relation</EM> focuses on two topics of increasing interest both in teacher education and research. It shows how questions of sensitive and attuned action as well as educators’ relations with children and the young are special—uniquely different from other relations and attunements. This collection introduces readers to both classical and contemporary texts, offering many of these in translation for the first time. These illuminate the struggles and rewards of teaching, showing teaching to be an art, simultaneously a personal and professional calling.
