The author, a former elementary school teacher and principal,
conveys in this collection of thought-provoking, humorous and
heartwarming pieces, written over the past 35 years, that teaching
and learning are essentially acts of love.
Richard Lakin's collection is geared to teachers, principals,
parents, and all those concerned with making schools more loving
and effective for each child. He presents a close look at his
school staff working together to create both a caring, challenging
learning environment and a real partnership between school and
home.
In today's high stakes and test obsessed world, "Teaching as an
Act of Love" encourages teachers as they remember why they entered
teaching in the first place-to zero in on the individual child,
"the whole child" and encourage the love of learning. In the 55
informative and optimistic pieces in the book, Richard proposes
more personalized "smaller caring schools of choice," where the
child comes first, where bureaucracy, testing and NCLB are
minimized and where a loving school climate and kindness
prevail.
Just right for leisurely inspirational reading-a great gift for
teachers or teachers in-training
A perfect springboard for thought-provoking discussions and to
explore new directions in Teacher and/or Parent Study Groups
