Product Description: This important book is the result of an in-depth inquiry into the lives and work of six outstanding preschool teachers. Through a creative, original combination of interviews, letters, vignettes, interpretive analysis, and reflections, the author describes and links together the events, people, and experiences that have made these women the excellent teachers they are.
Giving teachers a voice! Bill Ayers gives 6 talented preschool teachers a stage on which to tell about their craft. Teachers are so rarely given a voice. Preschool teachers are a group even more devalued than teachers of older children. Ayers allows us to see these women as masters, allowing them the depth of discussion and reflection great teaching deserves. Bravo!
