Book excerpt: "...an eloquent love letter to teaching and to life, written by a veteran teacher at the height of his powers." - Sam Swope, Founder of The Academy for Teachers "I admired its feeling, candor, and exuberance - and of course its Emersonian hope." - Mark Edmundson, author of Teacher: The One Who Made the Difference "Shy abounds in wry observations about practical experiences; his quiet reflections verge on and flow into wisdom ..." - Bob Blaisdell, author of Tolstoy as Teacher: Leo Tolstoy's Writings on Education Great teachers are indispensable champions and guides for students passing through crucial years. They are forks in the road. They are artists with living canvases and hidden audiences. The essence of what teachers do when the classroom door is closed is not written about, or celebrated, enough. It is unsung work. Teaching Life sings it here. One part memoir and one part educator travel guide, Teaching Life is a charming and loving missive to the author's aspiring-teacher daughters and a lyrical celebration of the unsung work of teaching. This book will surely shine as a North Star for teachers the world over.
