Teacher Stories

'We are the stories we tell ourselves.' This book is a varied collection of non-fiction stories from working language teachers. It shows the highs and lows of our profession and makes the valuable work that we do visible. The authors in this collection are: Sabine Cayrou, Helen Waldron, Greg Bond, Paul Walsh, Mohammed Qaid, and Neil Scarth. Their stories offer a glimpse of six different edges; edges where teachers—the bodies that dance across classrooms, performing the pedagogical rituals required of them—try to achieve some kind of balance and grace. These stories are sad, reflective, poignant and funny. Maybe you have a story to tell too?
