An Amazing Book!
I haven't read a book in a long time that so often had me close to tears. 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 is truly remarkable.
Inspirational.
You can call this good teaching; what it looks like is love. The Evening Standard has praised the book, stating that it is "inspirational."
The Powerful, Inspiring Story of Andria Zafirakou.
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 and tailor each class to her pupils' specific needs. She firmly believed in the power of art to unlock trauma, or give a mute child the confidence to speak. Time and again, she was proved right.
When Andria Won the Million-Dollar Global Teacher Prize.
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. The UK government's cuts and curriculum changes are destroying the arts, while their refusal to tackle the most dangerous threats faced by children, such as cyber-bullying, gang violence, hunger, and deprivation, puts teachers on the safeguarding frontline.
Andria's Story.
Andria's story is a rallying wake-up call that shows what life is really like for schoolchildren today. It is a moving insight into the extraordinary people shaping the next generation.
Praise for Andria Zafirakou.
Andria Zafirakou has received praise from many quarters. The Financial Times has described her as "a magic combination of belief and compassion." The Guardian has praised her as "an amazing person," and Jeremy Vine, BBC Radio 2, has described her as "a sheer joy."
Conclusion.
This book is a must-read for anyone who cares about education and the future of our children. Andria Zafirakou's story is a testament to the power of love, compassion, and determination in the face of adversity. Her dedication to her students and her commitment to the arts is an inspiration to us all.
