false <![CDATA[The Courage to Teach: Exploring the Inner Landscape of a Teacher's Life]]> 97059 4 As a spiritually inspirational book for teachers, <I>The Courage to Teach</I> is one of the best. The premise is concise and unarguable: good teaching comes from the identity and the integrity of the teacher. Teachers are encouraged to turn their inquiring minds inward--developing a deeper understanding of what it means to fulfill the spiritual calling of teaching. Good teachers share one trait, says author Parker Palmer, they are able to weave a complex web of connections among themselves, their subjects, and their students, so that students can learn to weave a world for themselves. The connections made by good teachers are held not in their methods but in their hearts--the place where intellect and emotion and spirit and will converge in the human self. --<I>Gail Hudson</I> 213020 21 11 1997 The Courage to Teach: Exploring the Inner Landscape of a Teacher's Life total:327|5:115|4:116|3:62|2:25|1:9| 327 1284 561 67 3 1 false false Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2003 Sat Jul 28 14:44:25 -0700 2007 Sat Jul 28 14:50:25 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Jun 02 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri May 22 19:33:52 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 03 16:46:57 -0700 2009
