The complexity of what teachers do is incomprehensible to anyone
who has not lived the experience. If one examines, in detail, the
multi-dimensional, multi-layered, multi-faceted acts that a teacher
performs each teaching day, it almost defies belief for it is
beyond heroic. Done well, the impact is to influence students for
all the days of their lives. Done well, it leaves students altered
for the better. It takes a trained observer to perceive and
comprehend the various acts, both overt and subtle, that a teacher
carries out during the course of a school day. This is the onus of
this book - to make explicit the professional tasks of a teacher in
today's fast changing world, where technology is rapidly replacing
human interactions, where disinformation is daily fed to a gullible
public, where funding and professional resources for schools are
never enough, where students come to school carrying physical and
emotional burdens that would daunt most adults, where the tasks of
teachers are more demanding and more heartbreaking than ever
before. How a teacher gives his or her all, and yet, manages to
keep at the job without burning out is a significant feature of
this book. Not only are these professional tasks identified and
explained, but suggestions are offered for how new and practicing
teachers may further hone those skills that each task demands.
Knowing the tasks is not enough; learning to apply them
successfully is the key to becoming that master teacher.
