What does it take to become a teacher today and how does one become a teacher? With Grit and a Big A Beginner’s Guide to Teaching covers the ins and outs on becoming a teacher from receiving a teaching license, working with students, colleagues, and parents, and confronting some of the social and political issues that dominate American society today. This book covers urban, suburban, and rural school settings and is intended for both teachers and anybody interested in the teaching profession.
My graduate professor wrote this book! The text does a great job at explaining the complicated and messy history of education and reflects on how teachers and schools can better the situation as a whole by leading with the heart and coming together as communities of learners. :) A very comprehensive and reflective look on what is being asked from teachers and students in the classroom.
