This book is a celebration and an acknowledgement of the various
forms of intellectual, physical, emotional and passionate
endeavours in which teachers at their best engage. Christopher Day
demonstrates that teachers with a passion for teaching are those
who are committed, enthusiastic and intellectually and emotionally
energetic in their work with children, young people and adults
alike. Having this passion for helping pupils to learn has recently
been identified as one of the four leadership characteristics
mentioned in the HayMcBer Report on effective teachers. Day
recognises that passionate teachers are aware of the challenge of
the broader social contexts in which they teach, have a clear sense
of identity and believe they can make a difference to the learning
and achievement of all their pupils. Offering a refreshing and
positive view, A Passion for Teaching is a contribution to
understanding and improving the teaching profession and brings new
insights to the work and lives of teachers. It is written for all
teachers, teacher educators and student teachers who have a passion
for education, who love learners, the learning life and the
teaching life.
