Description

This book gives us an in depth look at what is happening in diverse classrooms in Canada, and how teachers are making a difference in their students’ lives. More than thirty powerful vignettes take us into the hearts and minds of exemplary educators, as they share their values, convictions, wisdom and knowledge in the classroom and beyond. You will not soon forget the stories found in Teachers at Their Best. Truly refreshing in scope, and inspirational to anyone who is an educator, student or parent committed to diversity in Canada. | Cet ouvrage offre au lecteur une perspective nouvelle sur le climat social et humain dans les salles de classe au Canada. Il permet surtout d’évaluer comment les enseignants peuvent être des agents de changement dans la vie de leurs élèves. Sous forme de vignettes, plus poignantes les unes que les autres, l’auteur nous offre des extraits d’entrevues accordées par des enseignants tout aussi inspirants, eu égard à la responsabilité qui leur incombe en tant qu’éducateurs de nos jeunes, qu’inspirés dans leurs actions par leurs valeurs personnelles, leurs convictions intimes, leur sagesse et leurs connaissances. On ne saurait passer sous silence ces histoires de vie, partagées comme des confidences, certes modestes, mais combien rafraîchissantes par leur sincérité. Ces confidences sont le reflet incontestable du dévouement des enseignants qui les ont partagées, et ce pour le plus grand plaisir de ceux et celles qui oeuvrent au sein d’une société pluraliste comme le Canada.
