Faculty Review Copy

I chose to compile this reader for the Examining Self as a Teacher course because there was a need for an affordable text for students, readings that were directed toward them and providing information that they will need in the classroom—readings that are current and not slanted in a political agenda. Teachers should teach, not force agendas on students.

Remember the words of Christine McAuliffe “I touch the future, I teach”.
