All teachers face challenges—from the daunting and unexpected,
like teaching during a pandemic, to nagging doubts about daily
interactions and teaching practices. If there were ever a time for
sharing teacher personal and professional breakthroughs—the ways
teachers have successfully and courageously turned a corner—that
time is now. In this collection of compelling narratives, high
school and college teachers show us how they have taken on issues
such as faculty and student relationships; struggles over personal
identity in the classroom; joys and complexities of working with
emergent bilinguals, basic writers, and first-year college
students; and the forever question of how to engage students. This
is a book about breaking rules, caring about students, navigating
systems, and taking chances. It's an uplifting journey and along
the way, teachers do what they always do: They share the reading
and writing assignments that have worked for them during the best
and worst of times. The matchless part, however, is teacher wisdom.
Where would we be without it? Book Features: Brings together
narratives by veteran teachers who describe recognizable challenges
and what happens when new understandings trump old ways of doing
things. Provides ideas for teaching that arise from the
breakthroughs of college, community college, and secondary teachers
and are applicable to all grade levels. Celebrates teachers—their
voices and practices, their intelligent and empathetic approaches
to solving problems and making change. Illustrates the
transformative power of writing about breakthroughs and encourages
all teachers to share their stories. Includes an appendix with
sample materials for school and writing group leaders who want to
initiate similar breakthrough projects for teachers.
