by Bruce E. Anderson
Every teacher has a core gift- a specific and identifiable attribute of their teaching style- which is tied to both their talents and their difficult life experiences. Identifying and intentionally using this core gift provides powerful results in both the learner's and the teacher's life- moments which can take learning to levels not commonly seen in classrooms, social service offices, or mentoring on street corners.
Weaving learning theory, mentoring tradition, spirituality, and psychology into a coherent explanation of why teachers are so passionate about their work, Anderson makes a solid case that good teaching requires bringing together two of the most important activities of mankind- healing oneself and helping others expand their idea of who they might be to the world.
Anderson's stories and examples, along with the included teacher's dialogue, will help teachers of all kinds to understand and more fully use their driving passion to help others learn.
