Why We Teach
"This book is timely and needed; it is an important continuation of a conversation she started in What Keeps Teachers Going?" - Bernadette Anand, Bank Street College of Education; "These essays offer a more complex, thoughtful, and progressive view of the possibilities of schooling, at a time when teachers need support for preserving alternative visions for teaching and learning." - Lee Anne Bell, Barnard College; "I learned an important lesson almost immediately: Be yourself." - Bob Amses (4th grade); "I teach because teaching brings me hope." - Ambrizeth Lima (high school); "Learning is not a business, it is personal." - Sandra Jenoure (middle school)"
