The Art of Teaching, Way of the Warrior-teacher

The Art of Teaching was written for the reflective educator who strives for a deeper understanding of what it means to be a fighter for children and who looks deeper into the 'why' and 'how' students behave and act. The Art of Teaching is a book on strategy in and out of the classroom that is base on a 2400 year old book, The Art of War, by Sun Tzu. Teaching is increasingly becoming a combative profession where legal and political skills must be united with the everyday aspects of teaching. The illusion of just teaching a specific subject falls away once one steps into a public classroom. The questions of; "What is the purpose of teaching?" and "What is the purpose of learning?" are of significant importance when one faces student apathy and open hostility toward learning. Eductors must learn the ways of the Warrior-teacher.
