"From Telling to Teaching"

A bit of research will be necessary for this book - I've not heard of it or the author.


First hit from Google is National Conference for Catechetical Leadership <http://www.nccl.org/mc/page.do?sitePageId=70664&orgId=nccl>
First, what the heck is Catechetical?!?!? Checking Merriam-Webster Online - it's 'oral instruction'. I've learned something new. The web page above is for Resources that Touch on Ideas for Facilitating Groups and Various Creative Methods within the Adult Faith Formation Setting. Quite a lengthy list with quite a few authors I recognize - no specific info on Norris' book except: Norris, Joyce A. From Telling to Teaching: A Dialogue Approach to Adult Learning. Learning by Dialogue, 2003. Need to remember this - may be along the lines of Jane Vella.
A bit further down on the Google search . . .

http://www.learningbydialogue.com/book.htm looks promising . Sure is - I hit the jackpot. "Learning By Dialogue was created by educator and trainer Dr. Joye Norris" and she studied with Dr. Jane Vella :-).


I may need to save this one for another time since I'm currently reading Vella's Learning to Listen Learning to Teach.
