Synopsis

"The pieces in this book come mostly from moments in deep time, moments when I found myself thinking somewhat shamefacedly, 'Oh, now I get it.' And, interestingly enough, a good many of those moments of insight occurred with classroom experiences when I clearly 'didn't get it.'" (from the introduction)

Teachers and their styles are as various and unique as the polyphonic symphony of human life. And yet there are certain archetypal traits that would seem to grace the greatest and most effective of teachers: unquestioning dedication, flexibility, good humor, and an unpretentious openness to learning from anyone and everything are a just few.

Jack Petrash has spent the better part of his life teaching children, and teaching those who would also teach children, and the chapters that make up Turning Lead into Gold are filled with his sensitive observations and insights into all aspects of teaching and being a teacher, and a lifelong learner, born of these traits and having walked this path with open eyes and loving heart.

Turning Lead into Gold provides light and insight for teachers, parents, and caregivers, whether brand new or well-seasoned by their own experience.
