The Education of a Teacher

The Education of a Teacher

Susan Van Kirk
4/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
“In 1968, at age twenty-one, I was sure I had all the answers I needed to know about teaching five classes a day in a real high school...

…I had no idea what was coming or how naïve I was!”

A veteran of 34 years in public high school, Susan Van Kirk takes you on a passionate and unforgettable journey. Through one teaching life you meet the students and experience the real stories that molded a rookie teacher into a veteran. The first classroom fight, the unplanned pregnancy, the drug overdose, the sexually abused teenager, the first student who died young, and the challenge to a major Kurt Vonnegut book in her classroom: real stories, real people, real classroom issues.

The stories in The Education of a Teacher are based on real incidents that could happen in any school, any town, in any time. Their universal nature takes them beyond the classroom because, at their deepest core, they are stories about human beings.

The Education of a Teacher takes you into a teacher’s world. If your favorite teacher made it look easy, this book shows you the truth: it wasn’t. Incredible, inspiring, and unforgettable, these stories will stay with you long after you close the book.
