Not a member of the profession he presumed to judge

Argued common sense was the most relevant form of expertise

Connoisseurship and Criticism

What did Eisner use as an analogy for connoisseurship?

The art of appreciation – not necessarily a liking or a preference for that which is observed.

Page 5: Expertise-Oriented Approach & Consumer-Oriented Approach

“to recognize differences that are subtle but significant in a particular qualitative display” (p. 140)

Criticism – is the public side of connoisseurship.

Educational connoisseurship: “… process and effect of education. In an age of high-stakes testing, it is a perspective we badly need” (p. 141)
