The Passionate Teacher by Robert L Fried
"A deeply felt meditation on the vital role of passion in good teaching"--with useful samples, interviews, and advice (Anthony Rotundo, The Washington Post)Every teacher can be a passionate teacher--one who engages young people in the excitement of learning and ideas--if teaching is not undermined by the ways we "do business" in schools. In this book, a professor draws on the voices and firsthand accounts of teachers in urban, rural, and suburban classrooms to provide educators everywhere with useful advice and 'things to try'. Their successes will inspire you to grow and maintain your own passion for teaching in the face of day-to-day obstacles.
This edition of The Passionate Teacher also includes a new chapter for teachers beginning their careers.
