Product reviews for Making of an Educator

David H. Edwards, General Secretary, Education International

It might not be a memoir (he says), but it absolutely falls somewhere between a highly illuminative portrait of our greatest educational interactionist and a deeply engaging origin story of a truly unique and wonderful human being. As an avid reader of Andy’s books for the better part of two decades, I think this is the keystone upon which everything else should be placed. The early career teacher and academic will find incredible wisdom and advice. We somewhat later-stage activists, teachers, wonks, and researchers will find ourselves in the pages, amazed by the lucidity and insight Andy so consistently maintains as we come into contact with the main social theorists and thinkers of our formative years and look upon them with new eyes. It is truly a monumental piece of work and generous contribution to further feed our ‘passion for understanding education’. Chapeau, Andy.
