Teaching, Learning and Other Miracles

Award-winning author Grace Feuerverger explores teaching and learning in
schools as a sacred life journey, a quest toward liberation. Written for
teacher/educators who wish to make a real difference in the lives of their
students, this book speaks to everyone who finds themselves, as she did,
on winding and often treacherous paths, longing to discover the meaning
and potential in their professional lives at school. A child of Holocaust
survivors, Feuerverger wrote this book to tell how schools can be
transformed into magical places where miracles happen. In an era of narrow
agendas of ‘efficiency’ and ‘control,’ this book dares to suggest that
education is and should always be about uplifting the human spirit. 



“It is in the spirit of resistance and hope that Feuerverger goes in
search of a more fully humanistic pedagogy
 A book of inspiration and
practical guidance. Here, indeed, is a book about miracles -- written by a
miracle-maker for the miracle-workers teachers might yet become.”
                        -From the Foreword by William Ayers, University of
Illinois at Chicago                

“A beautifully written quest for meaning through teaching, this narrative
imparts a glow and significance to the relation between teachers and
learners that can only arise in an awareness of a darkness ordinarily
denied. A fine and unusual book, authentic and wise.”
                                                             
                                                  
                                              -Maxine Greene, Teachers
College, Columbia University


 “A splendid meditation on education, Feuerverger reminds us of the
deepest consolation of the classroom.”
