This book is a personal testimony of teaching using passion, wisdom, and diligence, and of what a successful classroom looks like. -- Karen Hayes, Associate Professor
The author's use of personal experiences and how they impacted her teaching practice serve as a powerful model for readers' own reflection and commitment to change. -- Karen Tichy, Associate Superintendent for Instruction
A book about the fearless joy, the common sense, and the B.S. detector necessary for good teaching. Brava! -- Michelle Broussard, Assistant Professor

This book is full of good, commonsense basics that apply not just to teaching but to life. Too often these practices are forgotten with the stresses of day-to-day living.
