Usaa: A Tradition of Service, 1922-1997 by Paul T Ringenbach
Why are educators and their profession the focus of so much film and theater? Diane Conrad and Monica Prendergast bring together scholars and practitioners in education, examining dramatic portrayals of teachers and teaching to answer this very question. Films such as Freedom Writers, Bad Teacher, and School of Rock, to name a few, intentionally or inadvertently comment on education and influence the opinions and, ultimately, the experiences of anyone who has taught or been taught. The chapters gathered in this collection critique the Hollywood good teacher repertoire, delve into satiric parodies and alternative representations, and explore issues through analyses of independent and popular films and plays from around the world. By examining teacher-student relationships, institutional cultures, societal influences, and much more, Teachers and Teaching on Stage and on Screen addresses these media's varied fascinations with the educator like no collection before it.
