Teaching for Social Justice These essays follow a veteran teacher educator and school reform activist as he tries to understand an enterprise he calls ""mysterious and immeasurable."" By focusing on the authentic experiences of his teaching and learning, Bill Ayers reconsiders, argues, reflects, and searches for ways to break through the routine and the ordinary to see teaching as the important and extraordinary work it is. Covering a range of issues - standards, equity, testing, professionalism - this book shows us teaching as an achingly personal calling, and ultimately a social and political act.

William Ayers is Distinguished Professor of Education and Senior University Scholar at the University of Illinois at Chicago (retired), education activist, and bestselling author of Teaching the Taboo: Courage and Imagination in the Classroom (with Rick Ayers), To Teach: The Journey of a Teacher, Third Edition, and To Teach: The Journey, in Comics (with Ryan Alexander-Tanner).
