Saint John Baptist de La Salle and the first Brothers of the Christian Schools shine forth. The book served as the basis for administering schools, and it is considered to be a monumental contribution to the history of pedagogy. It specifies how a school day is to run, explains how teachers should conduct themselves, discusses what qualities teachers should have or acquire, and more. The Conduct of the Christian Schools originally appeared in manuscript form in 1706, and De La Salle revised it constantly, in consultation with the Brothers. The first print edition was published posthumously in 1720. This current version is an expansion and modification of the 1935 translation, which is supplemented in the appendices with translations of material previously unavailable in English.\nThe Conduct of the Christian Schools was written by Saint John Baptist de La Salle (1651-1719), founder of the Brothers of the Christian Schools and patron saint of all teachers, translated by F. de La Fontainerie and Brother Richard Arnandez, FSC, and edited by Brother William Mann, FSC. It is part of the Lasallian Publications series, which produced volumes on the life, writings, and work of De La Salle and on the early history of the Brothers.\n??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Historical

On May 15, 1950, Saint John Baptist de La Salle was declared the Patron Saint of All Teachers of Youth by the Catholic Church. There is something in his story, in his writings, and in his living spirit that plants itself in the hearts of teachers everywhere. Here is someone worth knowing, especially if you are involved in the ministry of education. Here is a remarkable individual who continues to shape the educational world of today in ways he could not have imagined, inspiring educators from all backgrounds and cultures, shaping how they see students, teachers, and the activity of teaching. His insights, example, and faith-ﬁlled perspective naturally resonate with that of educators everywhere, reminding them why they became involved in teaching in the ﬁrst place. He is indeed a true saint for all teachers. And this little book tells his story.
