Preview — Teacher by Sylvia Ashton-Warner

TEACHER was first published in 1963 to excited acclaim. Its author, Sylvia Ashton-Warner, who lived in New Zealand and spent many years teaching Maori children, found that Maoris taught according to British methods were not learning to read. They were passionate, moody children, bred in an ancient legend-haunted tradition; how could she build them a bridge to European cult..more

The second I finished this book. I returned to the first page and began again. This book is poetry, passion and mentorship.

'Children have two visions, the inner and the outer of the two, the inner vision is brighter'
- Sylvia, Pg 38
Sylvia Ashton Warner, author of Teacher, shares her method of teaching that stresses on the inner vision. The output resulting from inner vision is said to be organic. The output can be a word (Key Vocabulary) , a sentence (Creative/organic writing). Each word coming from inner live of child has significance and personal meaning for a child. This emotional significance attached with the w..more
Interesting book about teaching. It is ultimately a diary; kind of disjointed and not always the easiest to follow. I found the comparison to marriage and intimacy at the end to be too much. But I do like the idea of giving children words to learn that already exist in their own minds and think that makes a lot of sense, rather than a one size fits all solution for teaching. This was introduced early in the text. I already do that so I thought it was neat, though I think using other texts that c..more
This book is an inspiration for anyone who cares about early childhood, multicultural, or ESL education. It's essentially Sylvia Ashton Warner's diary from the many years that she spent teaching Maori children. She was an incredibly innovative woman who cared deeply about the well-being of her disadvantaged students and who did her best to tailor education individually to the needs of each child. Her ideas were unfortunately not only ahead of her time, but still ahead of ours.

“For it is not so much the content of what one says as the way in which one says it. However important the thing you say, what’s the good of it if not heard, or being heard, not felt? To feel as well as hear what someone says requires whole attention. And that’s what the master’s command gave me- it gave me whole attention.” (17)
“It’s the bridge from the know to the unknown; from a native culture to a new; and, universally speaking, from the inner man out.” (28)

An interesting read, I am not sure how applicable it is to schools or how I personally feel about children writing about beatings, I like the concept but I have a hard time figuring how it could work in a public school without the teacher getting into trouble. I will keep this in mind as I teach but I am not sure if it can be a reality.

Mrs. Ashton-Warner is responsible for inspiring and igniting my teaching philosophy. She was the first teacher I came across with whom I could connect. Her passion for creating a child-center atmosphere has driven me to enact my own educational dreams.

I'd forgotten how this book brings you into her classroom. my favorite part of this book is that she asks the students to tell her the words that they want and that is how they create their beginning written vocabulary.

No other book influenced my imagination and practice of teaching than this book. It inspired me to forego the boilerplate as much as possible and keep reinventing each course, each semester, each year.

One of the most inspiring books I have ever read..I recommend it to anyone who loves children.
It's about her work with the Mauri children in New Zealand. She's for the child.
A good read for anybody interested in teaching young learners.

Sylvia Ashton Warner Quotes

Wow..I learned alot from this book. True story.
May 03, 2019Desi rated it liked it
Challenging to follow and it seems like it jumps around. She makes some great points, especially with key vocabulary and organic reading and writing. She also hits on the importance of noise in a classroom, understanding cultures of your students and being outside.
Awesome

Teacher is a great read for New Zealand teachers and educators. The methods and philosophies about organic reading, writing and vocabulary, particularly for Maori children, were revolutionary at the time and some still stand strong today. Others are dated now but Ashton-Warner's recognition of the effect constructivism and cultural capital has on a child's learning is an important precursor to personalised and learner-centred learning and teaching today. The second half of the book is a series o..more
This a a book I read long ago and remember how much I enjoyed it. It is the story of a teacher and her principal husband who were sent to teach the Maori children of New Zealand and Austalia. She discovers that the British textbooks and materials mean nothing to the children. She devises her own materials, field trips and fun to teach the children using their own environment as the curriculum.

Very applicable to any teacher working in a classroom of children that are part of a minority culture. I really liked the New Vocabulary system described in the book, but I found the second half hard to get through.

“..the more violent the boy, the more I see that he creates, and when he kicks the others with his big boots, treads on fingers on the mat, hits another over the head with a piece of wood or throws a stone, I put clay in his hands, or chalk. He can create bombs if he likes or draw my house in flame, but it is the creative vent that is widening all the time and the destructive one atrophying, however much it may look to the contrary. And anyway I have always been more afraid of the weapon unspoken than of the one on the blackboard.” — 1 likes

Biography[edit]

Ashton-Warner was born on 17 December 1908, in Stratford, New Zealand. She spent many years teaching Māori children, using stimulating and often pioneering techniques which she wrote about in her 1963 treatise Teacher and in the various volumes of her autobiography. Her success derived from a commitment to 'releasing the native imagery and using it for working material' and her belief that communication must produce a mutual response in order to effect a lasting change. As a novelist, she produced several works mostly centred on strong female characters. Her novel Spinster (1958) was made into the 1961 film Two Loves (also known as The Spinster) starring Shirley MacLaine. She was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire for services to education and literature in the 1982 Queen's Birthday Honours.[1]

Ashton-Warner died on 28 April 1984, in Tauranga. Her life story was adapted for the 1985 biographical filmSylvia, based on her work and writings,

Honorific eponyms[edit]

The Faculty of Education library at The University of Auckland—the institution at which Ashton-Warner trained between 1928 and 1929— was named the Sylvia Ashton-Warner Library in 1987[2] and includes the Sylvia Ashton-Warner Collection.[3]

The Ashton School in the Dominican Republic was founded in 1998 and was named in honour of Ashton-Warner, whose teaching methods inspired the school.[4]

Quote[edit]

'You must be true to yourself. Strong enough to be true to yourself. Brave enough to be strong enough to be true to yourself. Wise enough to be brave enough to be strong enough to shape yourself from what you actually are.'
