The Tenth Anniversary Edition of The Courage to Teach takes teachers on an inner journey toward reconnecting with themselves, their students, their colleagues, and their vocations, and reclaiming their passion for one of the most challenging and important of human endeavors.

The book builds on a simple premise: good teaching cannot be reduced to technique but is rooted in the identity and integrity of the teacher. Good teachers share one trait: they are authentically present in the classroom, in community with their students and their subjects.

This edition features a bonus CD featuring a 45-minute conversation between the author and two of his colleagues reflecting on what they have learned from working with thousands of teachers.
