Book Review: Letters to a Young Teacher
Summary: 5 Stars
I am still reading this book and am finding it to be very helpful and engaging. It should be inspirational to both young and older teachers alike because it is very hopeful in the message that if the teacher is creative and positive and holds out high expectations for the child, the greatest degree of instruction and learning is nearly always possible to attain and everyone can feel fulfilled. No obstacle is too great to overcome with the right attitude and approach. Any teacher who needs a boost or a push in the right direction should be encouraged to read this book!
Summary of Letters to a Young Teacher
?Kozol?s love for his students is as joyful and genuine as his critiquesof the system are severe. He doesn?t pull punches.?
?Washington Post
Jonathan Kozol?s most delightfully personal and revealing work to date takes the form of warm and friendly letters to Francesca, a young classroom teacher, offering encouragement and guidance and survival strategies for teachers of all ages in our nation?s public schools.
