Sinopsis

Condición del ejemplar: Very Good. Mission to Teach – Dipak Basu Mission to Teach, winner of 2014 Indie Book Awards for Biography and Education, is the inspirational story of a courageous teacher who took on American science education reform against deeply-established practices, suffering along the way several tragedies that only spurred her on to astonishing achievements in her all-too-short lifetime. Spanning four continents, Mission to Teach covers the life and work of NYU Professor Jhumki Basu, who developed ground-breaking techniques that were rooted in her own teaching experiences in embattled inner-city schools. Incredibly, Jhumki realized her achievements while she battled breast cancer with grace for seven years before it engulfed her at age 31 – but could not stop her legacy.
