On Being a Teacher

Jonathan Kozol, National Book Award-winning author and one of Americaâ€™s foremost writers on social issues, offers a passionate and provocative critique on the role of the teacher in Americaâ€™s public school system. Writing as a teacher, Kozol advocates an approach to education that is infused with ethical values: fairness, truth, and integrity, and a driving compassion for the world beyond the classroom. Kozol not only sheds light on what it means to be a teacher, but gives constructive suggestions on how teachers can work conscientiously within the system to foster these values in concert with parents, students and fellow teachers.
