Zen and the Art of Public School Teaching

This book is based upon two assumptions. The first is that we teach who we are,” and the second is that one’s philosophy of life is intimately tied to one’s identity, and that it is one’s philosophical identity” (conscious or otherwise) that ultimately dictates one’s teaching style and also what distinguishes those who find joy and passion in the teaching profession from those who find drudgery and then simply pick up a paycheck every two weeks. In his book Zen and the Art of Public School Teaching, Mr. Perricone compellingly invites his reader to participate in an introspective journey that is designed to help the reader better know themselves and the professional path upon which they have embarked. This book is for those who are just beginning their careers in teaching, for veteran teachers who are still very open to personal and professional growth, and to those who are thinking about becoming teachers.Perricone, John is the author of 'Zen and the Art of Public School Teaching', published 2005 under ISBN 9781413766486 and ISBN 141376648X.
