There is no dearth of pedantic, theoretical, and philosophical tomes written for educators. Many are helpful. Most are a snooze. But Michele’s cogent and practical advice is a welcome departure.

The book emphasizes goal-setting for the high-achieving classroom, but never loses the reader in the quagmire of impersonal theory. The strength of the work, however, is the author’s warmth exhibited through her use of illustration, example, and anecdote.

It can be difficult to find someone to support you with the day to day grind of teaching in the classroom, this book is that help. I have used this more as a tool and guide to give me that support and insight in what I am experiencing as a teacher. I have been teaching for almost 10 years and it is amazing how little teachers really support one another with our own experiences. Great Job Michele!! It's like having another teacher in the room to give me that advice that we are all searching for to lead us to success in the classroom. Rating: 5 / 5 This is a great resource for all teachers.

It is a great reminder for why we are in the profession. I enjoyed it. Rating: 4 / 5 This book was very tiny, but fun. It is a great reminder for why we are in the profession. I enjoyed it.
