“A deeply felt meditation on the vital role of passion in good teaching”—with useful samples, interviews, and advice (Anthony Rotundo, The Washington Post) Every teacher can be a passionate teacher—one who engages young people in the excitement of learning and ideas—if teaching is not undermined by the ways we ""do business"" in schools. In this book, a professor draws on the voices and firsthand accounts of teachers in urban, rural, and suburban classrooms to provide educators everywhere with useful advice and ‘things to try'. Their successes will inspire you to grow and maintain your own passion for teaching in the face of day-to-day obstacles. This edition of The Passionate Teacher also includes a new chapter for teachers beginning their careers.

Reviews for Passionate Teaching in Troubled Times: A Practical Guide

“This is the one book every teacher must have.” —Deborah Meier, MacArthur Award–winning educator, reformer, and author “I’ve loved The Passionate Teacher and recommended it for years. This new edition greatly enhances the book for today’s educators, laypeople, and students because it underscores a simple truth about learning: Learn what you love and you will learn to love learning. The genius of the teachers and students highlighted in Passionate Teaching in Troubled Times is their ability to make the connections that ignite that passion. Most of all, this book should be required reading for all educators at every level and for those considering joining the profession.” —Gregory Prince, president emeritus of Hampshire College
