Teaching Dave: Memories from 50 Years in Full-Time Education

by Dave Matthews

Teaching Dave celebrates the author’s fifty years in education from his first day at infant school to his retirement after thirty-four years as a History teacher. The book describes Dave’s changing experiences from both sides of the teacher’s desk. His teaching philosophy of engagement through humour shines through with a host of funny tales about maverick teachers and students who have shaped his own education – teaching Dave to become ‘Teaching Dave.’ The book could be described as a memoir, but the true stories resonate with all of us who have been part of the education system.

Brilliant and honest book relating to work in the educational system. Extremely frank and humorous I would recommend to those both in and outside the profession for an accurate and well written account of teaching life.
