《教师的灵魂》2012年，怀特·希区柯克著。Sapyent出版社，田纳西州橡树岭（ISBN 978-0988289802）。197页，平装本。21.95美元。教学是最困难的职业之一。我们努力帮助不同能力的学生，让管理者、家长和公众满意。我们常常在应付对我们的精力和时间的无情要求时，忽视了我们自己的个人和精神的成长。怀特·希区柯克在《老师的灵魂》一书中记录了他从大学讲堂到高中课堂的个人旅程。他的思考与学生的来信穿插在一起，使他的论文具有广阔的视角。第二章，“书”，讨论了一个我最关心的话题——一个人永远读不够书。书籍为我们提供新的视角，并帮助我们反思旧的观点。其他章节，从“触摸灵魂”到“尸体和尸体”再到“神话和现实”，都深入了解了他对教学的看法。我可以想象作者会说：“不能因为我一直这样做就自满。”老狗和所有的教育者都能学会新把戏！《教师之魂》的“带回家的功课”是什么？首先，障碍不应阻碍个人成长；想办法越过或绕过它们。不要放弃，要有创造力。其次，尊重你的学生并促进他们的学习：在你的方法和方法上要有创造性

His reflections are interspersed with student letters, giving his treatise a broad perspective. The second chapter, “Books,” discusses a topic near and dear to my heart – one can never read enough books. Books provide us with new perspectives and help us reconsider old ones. The other chapters, ranging from “Touching Souls” to “Cadavers and Carcasses” to “Myths and Reality,” add insight into his views on teaching. I can imagine the author saying, “Just because I have always done it this way is not an excuse for complacency.” Old dogs and all educators can learn new tricks! What were the “take-home lessons” from Soul of a Teacher? First, roadblocks should not impede personal growth; find ways to go over or around them. Do not give up, and be creative. Secondly, respect your students and foster their learning: be creative in your approaches and
