The Hope and Practice of Teaching

William Ayers

University of Illinois-Chicago

The author offers a brief critique of the clichés that rain down on beginning teachers as they struggle to find their ways in this most complex, slippery, and rewarding work and encourages a steady focus on the intellectual and ethical heart of teaching from the start. A sample of practical advice—little parachutes and safety nets—are put forward as possible aids in the adventure.

Key Words: conceptions/constructions of self • emotions • theories of teacher education
