This is a book that speaks directly to students and practitioners of education who wish to become clearer about what being a superlative teacher is all about - not the mechanics of instruction, but the essence of what has made great teachers powerful in commanding attention, respect and devotion from their students. The book contains a number of messages that are designed to inspire newcomers to the profession in many ways. The authors focus on the unique human factors that others find so inspirational, that motivate people to go beyond their perceived limits and that help them to find answers to the questions that are most significant.
I cannot praise this book enough! Mr. Kottler is a favorite author of mine in counseling literature, so I was pleased to find this work. Every teacher, novice and veteran, every administrator, and every school counselor should read this book. It will challenge you to look at your behavior and attitudes on students and education, and to grow as a person and professional.
Attention teachers!

Kottler and Zehm have written a deeply thoughtful and helpful book. Everyone who does this work needs brave and detailed books like this--books that in their thick description walk the walk, providing expert guidance, reassurance, and innovative technical suggestions that create space for dialogue.
