Teaching Again exposes the very human core of the teaching experience. Thisbook is not just about teaching English/language arts; it is about the heart and soulof the vocation that is teaching. It is also not just about Tom Poetter, the Englishteacher; it is about every individual who has ever tried to educate, whether that acthas taken place in a classroom, a church or synagogue, a museum, or at thekitchen table. Teaching Again brings to life the dance of questions that vie forattention in the mind of a teacher: How do I convince students that they want tolearn to what I’m trying to teach? How do I make them understand that this isreally actually important to them? And, perhaps most important, how do I getthem to like me, and my discipline, in the process? These are the questions that allgood teachers ask themselves at the beginning, middle, and end of every singleday of their professional lives. Every moment of teaching is a human transaction, and Tom brings us right intothe middle of that transaction. He allows the reader to see and hear and feel the tension of the tightrope he haschosen to walk with these students. The reader is right there for the thrilling 'ah-ha!' moments, and we experiencethe anguish of his defeats.CONTENTS
