The Twelve Virtues of a Good Teacher

"The Twelve Virtues of a Good Teacher by Brother Agathon, fifth Superior General of the Brothers of the Christian Schools from 1777 - 1795 is, in my view, after the monumental text we know as The Conduct of Schools, the most significant work in education in the Lasallian heritage."
