Produktbeschreibung

Through humor and personal stories, Learn More than You Teach: Becoming a Leader In a Diverse World explores an approach to work and life that promotes dignity and respect for all. Through time and intentionally diverse experiences, veteran teacher Susan Smith grows from an ethnocentric, suburban, White introvert into a creative leader who fosters reflection and problem solving in students and colleagues from a myriad of cultures. Her life stories about teaching, traveling, and volunteering demonstrate ways to connect with people. Care and change are possible no matter how different people appear. Readers can recognize themselves in the text and/or learn a new approach to working with others that allows them ownership of their own lives and development. Listen and learn before teaching. Susan M. Smith, Ph.D. is an educator who found fascinating challenges at the intersection of education, culture, and languages. She has traveled to twenty-two countries, including two years spent as a Peace Corps volunteer in the Central African Republic and an additional four years as education advisor for the Lutheran church in the same country. She speaks French and Spanish fluently along with bits of Sango and Portuguese. She taught elementary school for 30 years and coached other teachers. She is now a part-time interpreter, as well as an active volunteer with Pittsburgh Lutheran United Ministries, East Liberty Lutheran Church, and various organizations working for peace and justice.
