On Being a Better Teacher: Staying the Course and Maturing in the 21st Century Public School (The Teaching Trilogy) J. D. Stewart First edition

Idealism and enthusiasm for teaching may have been lost to routine. Teaching may have become merely a job, a living. If so this book may unsettle your outlook: it is concerned with directing and encouraging young teachers to flesh out higher teacher expectations at the core of the teaching practice. Although not a technique book, as such, growing in craft and character while providing effective, high-level academic instruction is integral to its purpose. It is not a purely read-and-heed book so much as a challenge to self-assessment while still a guide with examples to reconsider the practice to which you were originally drawn and to find new life in your original movitations to teach.
