"Great read! Especially for two specific categories of teachers. 1. New Teachers Great to help you miss the sinkholes that break the legs of so many young workhorses. 2. Tired teachers. Remind yourself of what you 'should' know. I recommend it!" -Shawn Liner via Goodreads

"Excellent book for teachers whether you've been teaching for years or are beginning your first year. It is short and to the point. The authors present the common factors found in effective teachers versus ineffective teachers. Very inspiring!" -Tracy Hackney via Goodreads
