This text is not so much a formulaic “how to” text, but rather one that looks at the teaching profession as a way of thinking, as a way of being.
The teacher is the most important element in nurturing an energetic, engaging, and inspiring classroom environment were authentic learning can unfold. Indeed, it is incumbent on the teacher to understand self, to be prepared, to possess command of subject matter, to inculcate in an appropriate way, and to exhibit patience, understanding, empathy, and enthusiasm. To that end, Teaching with Purpose: An Inquiry into the Who, Why, and How We Teach underscores what it means to be an insightful teacher, emphasizing that a central aspect toward transforming education is through the fostering of purposeful teaching. In accessible language and attentive to the connection between theory and practice, the benefits and features of this book are mindful of a diverse readership.

James D. Kirylo is professor of education at the University of South Carolina. His books include Paulo Freire: The Man from Recife and Reinventing Pedagogy of the Oppressed, among other books and articles in a variety of professional journals.
