An amazing book that has left me close to tears. Observer "Inspirational. You can call this good teaching; what it looks like is love." Evening Standard "The powerful, inspiring story of Andria Zafirakou, the best teacher in the world, and what it takes to work on the frontlines of education today." Arts teacher Andria Zafirakou was always a rule-breaker. At her inner-city London school, where more than eighty languages are spoken, she would sense urgent needs; mending uniforms, calling social services, and shielding vulnerable teens from gangs. And she would tailor each class to its pupils, fiercely believing in the power of art to unlock trauma or give a mute child the confidence to speak. Time and again, she would be proved right. So in 2018, when Andria won the million-dollar Global Teacher Prize, she knew exactly where the money would go: back into arts education for all. Because today, the UK government's cuts and curriculum changes are destroying the arts, while their refusal to tackle the most dangerous threats faced by children – cyber-bullying, gang violence, hunger, and deprivation – puts teachers on the safeguarding frontline. Andria's story is a rallying wake-up call that shows what life is really like for schoolchildren today and a moving insight into the extraordinary people shaping the next generation. Praise for Andria Zafirakou: "A magic combination of belief and compassion." Financial Times "Andria Zafirakou should be an inspiration to all." i "Zafirakous generosity offers a gleam of hope in a world that can seem unremittingly dark." Guardian "An amazing person. What struck me was just her sheer joy." Jeremy Vine, BBC Radio 4.
