Teaching Again exposes the very human core of the teaching
experience. This book is not just about teaching English/language
arts; it is about the heart and soul of the vocation that is
teaching. It is also not just about Tom Poetter, the English
teacher; it is about every individual who has ever tried to
educate, whether that act has taken place in a classroom, a church
or synagogue, a museum, or at the kitchen table. Teaching Again
brings to life the dance of questions that vie for attention in the
mind of a teacher: How do I convince students that they want to
learn to what I'm trying to teach? How do I make them understand
that this is really actually important to them? And, perhaps most
important, how do I get them to like me, and my discipline, in the
process? These are the questions that all good teachers ask
themselves at the beginning, middle, and end of every single day of
their professional lives. Every moment of teaching is a human
transaction, and Tom brings us right into the middle of that
transaction. He allows the reader to see and hear and feel the
tension of the tightrope he has chosen to walk with these students.
The reader is right there for the thrilling "ah-ha " moments, and
we experience the anguish of his defeats. CONTENTS
