Rick Rogers

Teaching as Adventure Training: True Stories From the Journals of a Teacher in Pursuit of Peace (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Part memoir, part autobiography "Teaching" recounts the adventures of an educator, Vietnam vet, children's author, peace activist and storyteller. It's a tale of a teacher's belief in the magic of working with children.

As an educator Rick Rogers also believed in authenticity. Whatever expectations a teacher might have of their students, teachers must first model that behavior be it through creativity, patience, sensitivity, perseverance or moral integrity.

When a college professor suggested journal writing as a way to inspire children to write, middle school teacher Rick Rogers took that notion to heart. Nineteen years and thirty-five volumes later, "Teaching" tells the story of how the pursuit of being an author of woodland fiction for children leads from the suburbs of Buffalo, to the backwoods of Maine and Arkansas, through hundreds of school libraries to war torn Nicaragua and exile in New Zealand.
