Educators at all levels will appreciate the book's easy-to-follow advice and no-nonsense approach to teaching.
I normally see little value in books like this, but this one is unique. It captures a lot of the core values/principles/practices that I see as being fundamental to good teaching. If you can keep these things in mind, and moreover take them to heart, it will be almost impossible not to teach effectively and make a lasting impact on students. When you feel overwhelmed as a new teacher and looking to make excuses for how hard your job is and how much is working against you, read this book and remind yourself that you are on the front lines, you do have the power to make change, and you can't give up on yourself or your kids.
