Publisher Description:

Education activist William Ayers invites new and prospective teachers to consider the deepest dimensions of a life in teaching. Should I become a teacher? How can I get to know my students? What commitments come with me into the classroom? How do I develop my unique teaching signature? In his new book, about Becoming A Teacher, Ayers muses on 10 such questions (and a little more) to shape and structure an indispensable guide that features hands-on advice and concrete examples of classroom practice, including curriculum-making, building relationships with students and parents, fostering an effective learning environment, and teaching toward freedom. This brilliant and concise text offers a conception of teaching as both practical art and essentially ethical practice.

Book Features:

  • Specific strategies for becoming a successful classroom teacher.
  • Foregrounds the ethical and intellectual qualities of excellent teaching.
  • Recognizes the complexity of teaching even as it provides a map to achieve excellence.
  • Accessible without oversimplifying the content and reducing teaching to something anemic and superficial.
