Teaching From The Heart
|
Subtitled quite accurately as "Reflections, Encouragement, and Inspiration, Sharon Draper's Teaching From the Heart juxtaposes generalizations about professional education with firsthand, realistic advice from lifelong experience.
Award-winning author of books for young people and Teacher of the Year in 1997, Draper aims her book first at prospective teachers, student teachers, and first-year teachers, then focuses more on her own long term career experience, with stories that focus on self-renewal and other sources of sustenance in an emotionally draining profession.
Besides the emotions and inspiration of the teaching life, Draper discuses her views on and experiences with a variety of topics of relevance to all educators. Throughout, she translates familiar jargon into the honest realities easily recognized by any teacher.
