What is This Work Called Teaching?
Irwin-DeVitis, Linda; DeVitis, Joseph L.
Educational Theory, v48 n2 p267-78 Spr 1998
In discussing the work of teachers, this paper highlights two books, William Ayers's "To Become a Teacher" and David Hansen's "The Call to Teach," examining the philosophical roots of their analyses; how they define and characterize teaching and its place in public and private spheres; and what metaphors shape and define their visions of teachers and teaching.
