I hope you share my belief that teaching is the world’s most important profession. Teaching
is exciting, rewarding, and uplifting; teachers receive great satisfaction from making
a difference in their students’ lives. In today’s climate of accountability, high-stakes testing,
and new federal programs such as Race to the Top, however, becoming a successful
teacher requires high levels of professionalism and commitment.
The ninth edition of Becoming a Teacher continues to listen to the voices of those
who care deeply about teaching—professionals and expert teachers, novices just learning
the ropes, students in America’s classrooms, and pre-service learners deciding if teaching
is their best career path—to help readers discover the answer to the question, “Is teaching
for me?”
With the help of these stakeholders, the ninth edition focuses on teacher quality and
provides in-depth coverage of:
• teacher leadership, political activism, and change facilitation
• diversity and culturally competent teaching
• social justice and democracy
Becoming a Teacher embraces and articulates the changing field of education, outlining
ways to be an agent of change in the profession, pinpointing meaningful uses of technol-
ogy in education, clarifying realities of diversity in the classroom, and clearly outlining
past, present, and future thoughts on curriculum, instruction, management, philosophy,
and issues in education. This down-to-earth and straightforward approach provides students
with the tools and information necessary to answer the questions, “What does it
take to become a high quality teacher?” and “Do I want to teach?”
