Stories of the Courage to Teach is a collection of short essays from teachers at every level of practice. Anecdotal and personal, these stories are filled with inspiration and practical depictions of how classrooms can be transformed into enlivened environments where children can learn and succeed. Teachers are drawn to education by an ethic of service and a mission to make a difference in the world. This book honours teachers who, despite all the obstacles they face, still try to improve schools in an educational system that has seemingly turned against them. Grouped into sections on sustaining emotional balance, connecting with students, and seeking reforms to educational systems, these recollections of teachers will provide hope to any teacher who is currently struggling to find the courage to teach.
