Synopsis

We can thank George Bernard Shaw and his 1905 stage play Man and Superman for the line, ‘Those who can, do; those who can’t, teach’ – an oft-repeated derogatory phrase, undeservedly aimed at our educators. Nonetheless, teachers as writers offer a unique window into the creative process, and as role models for our young people they demonstrate that teachers can, in fact, ‘do’.

As New Zealand faces what has come to be known as a ‘literary crisis’ we know that a staggering 65% of Year 8 students sit below the curriculum level in writing. Now, more than ever, we need those teachers who have a way with words to lead the way in raising literacy levels.

This book presents a collection of writing created by some of the finest teachers you are likely to find anywhere.
