Description

For teachers who have good days and bad — and whose bad days bring the suffering that comes only from something one loves. It is for teachers who refuse to harden their hearts, because they love learners, learning, and the teaching life. Parker J. Palmer takes teachers on an inner journey toward reconnecting with themselves, their students, their colleagues, and their vocations, and reclaiming their passion for one of the most challenging and important of human endeavors. Good teaching cannot be reduced to technique but is rooted in the identity and integrity of the teacher. Good teachers share the characteristic of being authentically present in the classroom, in community with their students and their subject. They possess "a capacity for connectedness" and are able to weave a complex web of connections between themselves, their subjects, and their students, helping their students weave a world for themselves. The connections made by good teachers are held not in their methods but in their hearts — the place where intellect, emotion, spirit, and will converge in the human self. This book includes an audio CD featuring a conversation between Parker Palmer and his colleagues, Marcy Jackson and Estrus Tucker, reflecting on their work with teachers in the "Courage to Teach" program. Supplementary materials are not included as part of the eBook file.
