《Teaching That Changes Lives》读后感700字

断断续续利用碎片闲暇时间，看完此书也有些时候了，本想偷懒不写书评的。但微读里原版书听说质量参差不齐， 鱼龙混杂。既然自己已经花时间读完此书，还是写个小书评，希望能供有兴趣的书友择书时参考。

如果你读此书的目的是为了学英文，看原版书，那这本书可以一读。此书在微读原版书里质量算是过关，没有空格拼写等诸多错误。语言也并不生涩难懂，可算是比较接地气的生活化现代文。行文也很通顺流畅，读来一点不会吃力，每章开头所引的名人名句有些也很不错。

如果你是想从文学角度去品味原版经典，那就不必选这本书了。此书充其量最多只能归入畅销书那一类（没有具体查过发行销售量，或许也不算畅销）。从故事性到文学性，都没有太多的可圈可点之处。故事很简单，通过一个新手老师亲身经历的成长之路，介绍她从良师益友Sophie那儿学来的Mindset Choice Map 理论，用于她的教学和生活，使自己与周围的人都发生了积极的改变，所谓题目即中心：Teaching that changes Lives。

如果你对教育或对这个Mindset Choice Map 理论感兴趣，不妨也可以翻翻此书，书中还是有好些可取之处的，可以详见文末整理附录一些书中重点。当然，再好的理论也需要实践和应用，正如作者所说 “ Practice whenever you become aware of those early Judger signals”.

如果你时间允许，可以从头读来，跟着作者进入这位老师的生活，看看这套理论如何改变她自己，她的爱人，她的同事和学生；如果时间有限，那最偷懒的short-cut (捷径) 就是去看最后从第746页开始的 “The Workbook with 12 mindset tools for igniting the love of learning” 那一章，但那里就仅是框架而已了。

最后，建议可以先试读免费章节，看看是否喜欢，如果决定继续往下读，那可以选赠一得一, 因为记得原价有点小贵。

说了那么许多，就不再废话，综合评分我会打3.5/5， 书友们各自按需所取，自行定夺。

整理摘录如下

Mindset Choice Map 重点:

Mindset Choice Map—Key points:
The term Mindset represents the set of beliefs and assumptions we hold about ourselves, others, and the world.

Being human, we’re constantly shifting back and forth between Learner and Judger mindsets, hardly aware we’re doing it. Nor do we realise that we have any control over choosing our mindsets, about which one is to be in charge.

Either you have your mind-set or your mindset has you!

Listening with learner ears and ask good questions “What needs to happen so everyone can win”?

Choice Map Tool: The Five Questions
1. What do I want—for both myself and others?
2. Am I in Learner mindset or Judger mindset right now?
3. Am I listening with Learner ears or Judger ears?
4. What assumptions am I making?
5. Who do I choose to be in this moment?

Choice Map Tool: ABCD choice process—Aware, Breathe, Curiosity, Decide
1. Aware:
Ask yourself, Am I in Judger?
2. Breathe:
Breathing, full breathing, step back to gain perspective.
3. Curiosity:
What’s really upsetting/happening here? And why is that person’s behaviour pushing my buttons? (Ask genuine questions in a calm and neutral way.)
4. Decide:
Who do I choose to be in this moment? What do I choose to do?
