Printer-friendly versionWilliams Ayers and Ryan Alexander-Tanner visited Carnegie in spring 2010 as part of the Carnegie Chats series. They offered a vision of a collaborative classroom in which critical thought and alternative sources of knowledge are advocated and the ultimate goal is good citizenship in the form of an active and thoughtful individual.
William Ayers is an educator, writer and social justice crusader. He and Exeric Award winning cartoonist Ryan Alexander-Tanner have created a comic book version of his 1993 book, To Teach: The Journey of a Teacher, now titled To Teach: the journey, in comics. In this innovative publication, Ayers and Tanner advocate for a form of education that downplays standards testing and focuses on the student as a three-dimensional human being, supported by a curriculum that plays to the students' strengths and interests.
