Böcker av David T. Hansen

The Call to Teach has been used in teacher education and educational research courses the world over. This volume celebrates that landmark text and examines the far-reaching impact of David Hansen's teaching and scholarship.

Employing the idea of teaching as a vocation or calling, this work analyses and interprets case studies drawn from fieldwork. It is based on a three-year study of the everyday working lives of four teachers in a large urban setting.

"Rarely have I come across a book that so quickly provoked me to re--examine my own classroom behavior. There is no place to hide in this careful scrutiny of the teacher as crucial player in the daily morality tale that becomes the story of school life.
