In this sequel to his internationally acclaimed classic, The Call
to Teach, David Hansen revisits the idea of teaching as a calling
in light of contemporary expectations in education. Reimagining The
Call to Teach brings to life an ethical approach to teaching that
is informed by an understanding of teaching's great purpose: to
help the next generation forge a spirit of mutual care and concern
while supporting each student's distinctive way of being in the
world. Hansen juxtaposes testimony from public school educators
with ideas and examples drawn from philosophy, teacher education,
research on teaching, literature, and other arts. He demonstrates
that, despite pressing structural challenges in the educational
system, teachers can bring their calling to life by supporting one
another and by engaging in philosophical inquiry and
self-cultivation. Rendered with Hansen's customary eloquence, this
dynamic book will be of interest to all who care about the dignity
of teachers and teaching in our time. Book Features: Provides a
fresh and inspiring account of teaching as a calling. Draws
creatively on a wide-range of sources, including extensive
testimony from teachers. Focuses on an ethical approach to working
with teachers called "bearing witness." Highlights the important
place of philosophy in being a teacher and a teacher educator. Uses
an accessible and engaging style with rich examples throughout.
