This book is a wonderful call that inspires teachers to innovate and feel proud of their profession, written by one of the most highly regarded teachers in the world. Clearly and beautifully written, Doucet's book uplifts me as a leader of teachers and I am sure it will make every teacher who reads this work feel better about the truly honorable profession to which they dedicate their lives.
--Vicky Colbert, Founder and Director of Fundacion Escuela Nueva and Yidan Prize Laureate for Educational Development (2017)
Doucet is a history teacher and he brings himself and his students to the whole wide world. In Teaching Life he shows how teaching can be a ticket to boundless imagination, and an energizing but focussed romp into learning about oneself and the world. Doucet has written a stimulating and compelling book to act and learn in concert.
--Michael Fullan, O.C., Professor Emeritus, OISE/University of Toronto
Teaching Life is a passionate and engaging story of teaching. It is another must-read for anyone interested in championing classroom-focused change. It is a book that raises important questions about education as a new vision about more than simply preparing students for a technologically - advanced world, but also about how education can prepare them to embrace values such as equity, justice, peace and human rights.
--Irina Bokova, Director General UNESCO (2009-2017)
An award-winning teacher, Doucet draws upon his own decades of work as a coach, teacher, leader, and his visits to classes across the globe to argue that education is the single most important social program for the long-term future success of any society. This timely and teacher-centered piece reminds us that a country that cannot think, is just as dangerous as a country that cannot defend itself.
--Maggie MacDonnell, Global Teacher Prize Winner (2017)
