We have a winner! Comment #4, Shane, I'm emailing you right now!
My husband, Craig Dunham, has written another book, Learning Education, and as of today it is available for purchase! Are you an educator? Do you know an educator? This book would make a super great "thank you" gift for a teacher, an excellent graduation gift to give someone about to join the ranks of professional educator, or an insightful personal enrichment for you as you seek to both teach and learn well.
Summary:
“Now began the real education...mine. Finishing my degree while teaching full-time gave me a chance few teachers get –take important education classes toward qualifying me for what I was already doing as a real teacher. Forget eight weeks of student semi-teaching; this was a daily do-or-die, trial-by-fire, multi-year, hands-on reality...and the best (and hardest) training for ‘learning’ education I would experience.”
The only formal classroom credential husband, father, and author Craig Dunham could list on his resume was teaching Bible part-time at a small classical school the year before. But his mother had been an English teacher, his grandfather had been a beloved elementary school principal, and Craig knew he loved the classroom (which is why he was applying for the job) and that he wanted to teach from a Reformed Christian worldview (which is why he was going to seminary at the same time).References helped secure him a place among the final three candidates of the 50+ who had applied for the open Bible position at Westminster Christian Academy in St. Louis, but he still had to meet with administration and guest-teach a class. After a shaky interview, he taught an 80-minute Ethics class on the eighth commandment, receiving a round of student applause (a first, he was told) and a phone call later that day informing him he got the job.
Now all he had to do was figure out what he was doing...
