This diary on the history of teaching is the third entry in the history of education series for the Education UpRising - Education for Democracy project. (See teacherken's key diary and earlier entries on the purposes of schooling and the history of school bureaucracy as well as last Saturday's diary on the most important lessons we learned.) Today I describe some key findings of historians about the history of teaching in two senses: the history of instruction and the history of teaching as an occupation.
