Summary:

"In this sequel to his acclaimed The Call to Teach, David Hansen revisits the idea of teaching as a calling in light of contemporary prospects in education. He shows why the call to teach walks hand in hand with teaching as the holistic practice of being with students in their interaction with subject matter, one another, and their larger life experience. The book is a sequel, not merely a new edition. thoroughly re-written and re-researched to expand original premise of "The Call to Teach.""-- Provided by publisher.
