About this ebook
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.
“In your hands is the gift to help and empower students, which is the greatest gift you could ever give as a teacher.”
—Kevin Powell, author, The Education of Kevin Powell: A Boy’s Journey into Manhood
“Chock-full of entertaining anecdotes, great teaching and learning moments, and hard questions that help inform the highly consequential decision to become a teacher.”
—Angela Valenzuela, University of Texas at Austin
“I’m excited to add a new guide to my ‘must-read’ list for teachers-to-be. This is a delight of a little book.”
—Eve L. Ewing, University of Chicago
“Wow, do I wish I could have read this book, not only when I was just starting to teach, but every year since.”
—Kevin Kumashiro, consultant
