Indeed, it is incumbent on the teacher to understand self, to be prepared, to possess command of subject matter, to inculcate in an appropriate way, and to exhibit patience, understanding, empathy, and enthusiasm. To that end, Teaching with Purpose: An Inquiry into the Who, Why, and How We Teach underscores what it means to be an insightful teacher, emphasizing that a central aspect toward transforming education is through the fostering of purposeful teaching. In accessible language and attentive to the connection between theory and practice, the benefits and features of this book are mindful of a diverse readership.
