This concise, attractive and inspirational book aims to do two things. Firstly it celebrates the importance of teachers. It reminds current teachers why they joined the profession and it encourages others to join. Secondly it reflects on the key elements of teaching - the craft and artistry (pedagogy) of teaching.
Divided into six sections the book concentrates on:
* The passionate teacher
* Alchemists of the mind
* Learned craftsmanship
* Continuous professional development
* Creating learning environments
* Making learning partnerships.
It includes prose, poetry, anecdotes and extracts from pupils' writing and reminds practicing teachers, and introduces student teachers and NQTs to, what it means to be a teacher.
