註釋In this manuscript, I share stories about twenty-five different teachers who have had an impact on my life and other students' lives. I delve into five of those teachers at greater length, allowing them to tell parts of their stories, then connect those to what I have tried and continue to try to do with my students. I use the language of the teaching rubric to structure the book, but also to show how great teachers go beyond such rubrics.Teachers at all levels today are often portrayed in a negative light, as they are often on the news for cheating scandals or improper behavior, or they are misrepresented as people who pursued teaching as a way to have summer months off. I hope to counter that view by showing these teaches as people who devoted their lives to students in an attempt not only to teach them a particular subject, but to effect their lives.Whenever we talk about teacher education, we talk about skills teachers will need. We even lay out rubrics to evaluate teachers, assuming all good teaching fits in the same categories. Teaching is as much an art as it is a skill, though, and great teachers find ways to teach that spring forth from who they are rather than trying to make their teaching fit a particular set of objectives. By using a wide variety of teachers, I hope to illustrate the wide variety of ways teachers have of connecting with their students.
