Amidon Planet E149: What Stephen King Can Teach Us About the Craft of Teaching (w/ David Coffey)
In this episode, I talk with Dr. David Coffey, from Grand Valley State University, about Stephen King’s On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft and what a book about becoming a better writer can teach us about becoming better teachers. While King is writing about the work of a writer, many of the lessons in On Writing invite us to think differently about teaching as something we continually develop rather than something we simply master.
What does it mean to approach teaching as a craft? How do we learn from revision? And how might we become more intentional about getting better over time?
Whether you’ve read On Writing or not, this conversation offers an invitation to reflect on your own practice and the ongoing work of learning to teach better.
Enjoy!
