What does it truly mean to teach — and how can any educator rise to meet that profound calling? On Teaching by Herbert R. Kohl is an essential, practical guide for educators at every stage of their career, presenting a philosophy of creative, student-centred teaching that challenges the mechanistic routines of conventional schooling. Kohl, drawing on his celebrated experience in progressive education, argues that genuine teaching begins not with rigid curricula but with curiosity, respect, and an acute sensitivity to the needs of each individual student. The book details concrete, practicable strategies for fostering open classrooms, encouraging critical thinking, and building authentic relationships between teacher and learner. Kohl writes with the clarity and conviction of a true classroom practitioner, and his prose carries the warmth of someone who deeply believes in the transformative potential of education. On Teaching stands as a companion volume to his earlier work Reading, How To, extending his vision of a humane pedagogy into a broader meditation on the teacher's role in society. Praised by the Council for Basic Education as a gold mine of imaginative and practicable ideas, this guide remains as urgently relevant as ever — leaving the reader to wonder whether our schools have yet dared to become what Kohl insists they can be.
