Teachers and Faith
Eckert, Jonathan
Phi Delta Kappan, v93 n4 p20-23 Dec 2011
This paper examines the roles that faith and vocation play in teaching. Faith can lead to a sense of calling that impacts the identity and integrity of the teacher, which, in turn, influences the holistic development of students. Therefore, teachers of faith who respect the limits of religious belief in public schools are essential contributors to the profession.
