What Should I Do? - Anna Ershler Richert - Bog - Teachers' College Press - Booktok.dk
What Should I Do? is a practical guide to the everyday dilemmas of the urban classroom. It offers a lifeline to both beginning teachers who are struggling to be successful and to the teacher educators who are trying to prepare them for these challenges. The author uses narratives of practice, written by novice teachers, to help readers experience a variety of dilemmas they are likely to encounter in the classroom. By engaging with and analysing the cases, readers come to see that the ''problems'' of teaching are actually ''dilemmas'' that have no clear-cut right or wrong solution, thus reducing the potential for frustration and despair often felt by teachers. This practical resource will empower teachers to transform the unpredictable world of troubled schools into places of learning and hope, for both themselves and their students. As a former teacher said, ''I wish I had read this book and realised that I wasn't expected to have all the answers. I would probably still be teaching.''
