Two years ago, radical teacher, education theorist, and former Weather Underground leader Bill Ayers adapted his classic book, To Teach: The Journey of a Teacher, into a delightful comic, with the help of artist Ryan Alexander-Tanner.
As the Harvard Education Review describes it, with ideas “grounded in Ayers’ time as a kindergarten teacher, his experiences as a parent, and the work of other innovative education,” Ayers and Alexander-Tanner crafted a comic that promotes “a vision of education that is child-centered, creative, social, investigative, and holistic, while taking aim at the forces that seek to standardize and dehumanize the art of teaching.”
If you haven’t read Ayers’ book, go pick up both versions, and check out the study guide Ayers created as a companion to the book for college students.
