Download or read book A Call to Teach written by Torin Finser and published by . This book was released on 2020-10 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vocation of teaching has been under considerable pressure over the last several decades. Unions would push teachers to count hours and demand breaks and benefits, while every teacher's heart knows that students need attention that is difficult to count in hours or wages. Standardized tests and demands to prove their competence make teachers relinquish their own knowledge of the mysteries of child development and the need for compassion and grace. Torin Finser uses his decades of knowledge of teaching both children and aspiring teachers, and adults in many walks of life to describe full-heartedly how important the preparation of teachers is and how rich the possibilities for teachers to influence the coming generation. He thrills with the future teachers hold in potential through their teaching. This is a book worth reading and then considering, for everyone, not only for teachers or those wishing to become teachers. Our young carry the promise of the coming days, and how we speak to them, love them, teach them now, holds the future. Very few books deeply describe the importance of teacher preparation. This is a golden contribution to that library of insightful contemplation of this all important, and future-bearing calling - the call to teach!
