My Career in Teaching

A lifetime of teaching and managing at six different high schools is recollected in this highly readable autobiography.

At each school, there are an enthralling range of characters and experiences, some serious, some entertaining, but one thing is for sure; teaching young people is never dull.

Developing what is referred to as the 'craft of the classroom' is the key to success and, through this, positively influencing the lives of hundreds of boys and girls.

Teaching is a real privilege, a great opportunity, but with this comes an awesome responsibility.

David Ainsworth explores this in full as he recalls a successful, rewarding and, at times, challenging career in teaching.
