Le résumé fourni par la source

I have a thousand reasons to treasure Barry Chazan as a longtime leader and fellow laborer in vineyards of education, where so many of us struggle to get our art and craft right so we can serve our students well.Fortunately, I don't need to enumerate all my reasons in this brief Foreword.This book-a gift from Barry's mind and heart to educators of every sort-sums them up in a single line found in the Epilogue: "I believe that education is the process whereby we become human."He goes on to illumine that core belief with affirmations like these: I believe that the subject of education is the person.I believe a person is someone whose enhancement, development, well-being and dignity are the ultimate aim of existence.I believe the educator is a person of ultimate faith, ultimate doubt, and ultimate courage whose calling is to help the young learn how to learn.ix My life has been shaped by interactions with words, nature, and human beings.I would like to thank everyone that I have taught and everyone who has taught me-I have learned from each of you.I would like to thank the person who has known me the longest-my brother robert Chazan, a distinguished medieval historian and one of the shaping figures of Jewish studies in twentieth-and twenty-first-century American academic life.This very distinguished big brother and friend and wife Saralea and their remarkable clan are treasured family and sources of great wisdom and joy.over the years, I have been blessed with dear friends, and I would like to thank Janet Aviad, my oldest friend since college walks near Grant's Tomb, Andy Griffel, richie Juran, Zohar raviv, and Michael Soberman, all of whom have helped me to see myself and the world more clearly.
