“This book is a great resource on the important, changing roles of
teachers within the classroom and administrative support within the
school. A great read for district and campus leaders who want to
motivate teachers, as well as for teachers who want to motivate
students.”
*Jennifer Baadsgaard, Assistant Principal*
“The research and data presented in this book lay the foundation
for the children of today and the challenges they encounter.”
*Maudest Rhue-Scott, Principal*
"The passion that comes through when hearing Stephen Peters speak
is echoed in this call to capturing the students who are most often
marginalized. Using an array of statistics and personal
observations, Peters calls upon the heart and the conscience of the
educator when asking you to ′bring your best′ every day into the
classroom. This book continually comes back to the
relationships formed between students and staff, and to this end
Peters provides a continuous drumbeat of advice."
*From the Foreword by Alan M. Blankstein*
