“How Teachers Learn” is the first chapter in the Tulip Series for 8th Grade English, written by John Holt. It is a thoughtful work that revolutionizes the usual idea of ​​teaching, showing how teachers can also learn from their students.

Summary of How Teachers Learn

The story centers on a teacher and a five-year-old girl named Nora.

Nora struggles with reading, and the teacher silently observes her progress.

When Nora misreads a word she had previously read correctly, the teacher is perplexed.

This moment leads the teacher to reflect on her own experience trying to read an unfamiliar language, which helps her empathize with Nora’s challenge.

The main message: Teachers learn best when they try to see the world through their students’ eyes.
