To Teach is both the story of a new teacher's voyage into the classroom and a guide to the values and commitments that can animate a steady and meaningful life in teaching. There are stumbling blocks in every teacher's journey and today's specific, unprecedented challenges can seem insurmountable. In this new edition, Ayers discusses important events that have shaped education since the last edition was published, including a global pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement. He also discusses the heightened politicization of teaching as a profession resulting in insidious book banning, as well as the continuing influence of mass incarceration on schooling. For over 3 decades, this classic text has inspired teachers across the country to follow their own paths, face their own challenges, and become the teachers they long to be. This engaging teacher's odyssey is a road map to the beating heart of teaching, emphasizing the joy in the journey and the pleasure in a life lived in the company of children and youth.

Love, William F. Russell Professor, Teachers College, Columbia University
"Ayers' riveting description of his unfolding journey as a teacher will be a helpful guide to teachers at all stages of their careers." –Teaching Education (of previous edition)
