Description
Combining humor with experiential wisdom, this call to action inspires educators to strive for excellence in their classrooms. Real-world questions, fears, and doubts that even the best educators experience are explored, including disciplining a classroom without becoming a dictator, turning failure into success, and creating a positive learning atmosphere. In discussing the factors that make for exceptional teaching, teacher and student leadership skills are addressed, with advice on assessing teacher leadership and choosing solution-driven student leaders.
