<p>Teaching Dave celebrates the author&rsquo;s fifty years in education from his first day at infant school to his retirement after thirty-four years as a History teacher. The book describes Dave&rsquo;s changing experiences from both sides of the teacher&rsquo;s desk. His teaching philosophy of engagement through humour shines through with a host of funny tales about maverick teachers and students who have shaped his own education &ndash; teaching Dave to become &lsquo;Teaching Dave.&rsquo; The book could be described as a memoir, but the true stories resonate with all of us who have been part of the education system.&nbsp;</p>
