To Teach

This graphic novel brings to life William Ayerss bestselling text To Teach: The Journey of a Teacher (new third edition due May 2010). A vivid, honest portrayal of the everyday magic of teaching, and what it means to be a good teacher, it debunks myths perpetuated on film and other starry-eyed hero/teacher fictions. Illuminated by the evocative and wry drawings of Ryan Alexander-Tanner, this graphic version of To Teach will engage while it instructs. It is a much-needed reminder of how curiosity, a sense of adventure, and a healthy dose of reflection can guide us all to learn the most from this world as we educate the next generation. Teacher educators and professional developers will want to use this dynamic graphic novel alongside the traditional text for a unique teaching and learning experience.
