| book description |

According to Publishers Weekly, â€œThis fascinating and, yes, educational book will certainly be of interest to teachers, but it will also teach, inspire, and entertain anyone else who picks it up.â€ This graphic novel brings to life William Ayersâ€™s bestselling memoir To Teach: The Journey of a Teacher, Fourth Edition. From his early days teaching kindergarten, readers follow this renowned educational theorist on his â€œvoyage of discovery and surprise.â€ When first published in 2010, this graphic novel was immediately embraced as an accessible and imaginative introduction to teaching. The author and illustrator have meticulously updated their popular book to coincide with a new fourth edition of William Ayersâ€™s classic memoir To Teach: The Journey of a Teacher. The expanded second edition of this book adds a coda to each chapter that addresses our changing world, including the global pandemic, the Black Lives Matter movement, the heightened politicization of teaching as a profession, and the continuing effects of mass incarceration. Once again featuring the evocative and wry drawings of Ryan Alexander-Tanner, this dynamic book offers an innovative way to address the problems and virtues of a career in education. These illustrated stories remind us how curiosity, a sense of adventure, and a healthy dose of reflection can help us all learn. Book Features: An alternative medium for teaching theory and practice that can be more engaging for a broad audience than a standard text. An irreverent and humanitarian approach to addressing the complexities of education in todayâ€™s society. An examination of contentious issues done with an open mind and an open heart. An illustrated invitation to teaching as it could and should be.
