Should I become a teacher? What commitments should I bring with me into the classroom? How should I develop my own unique teaching signature? These are three of the questions that shape and structure this accessible and helpful guide for people who are moving toward teaching. Grounding hands-on advice and concrete examples in a concept of teaching as both a practical art and an essentially ethical practice, this book can be put to immediate use even as it invites new and prospective teachers to consider the deepest dimensions of a life in teaching"--cProvided by publisher. 0aTeachingxVocational guidance. 0aEducationxStudy and teaching.08iOnline version:aAyers, William, 1944- author.tAbout becoming a teacherdNew York, NY : Teachers College Press, [2019]z9780807777886w(DLC) 2019002469  a7bcbccorignewd1eecipf20gy-gencatlg  2ddccBK  00102ddc40708NFICaGLbGLcGRADd2023-07-18ePurchase  (Megatext)g2195.00h10335l0oGrad 371.10023 A977 2019p10335r2023-07-18w2023-07-18yBK
