In this essay, the idea of "method" in teacher education is explored. Using the author's own teaching as the site for this inquiry, and drawing on comments from her students, the paper proposes three ways to think of method: the methods of subject matter and the different approaches required; the methods of manner, including personal responsibility and values; and the methods of pedagogical reasoning--thinking and learning. The paper goes on to argue that to be more effective, teachers must learn methods of teaching that go well beyond how to lead discussions, create small group activities, and use technology. (ND)
