Description
See the Kid…Teach the Kid, it doesn’t get any simpler than that. The author writes with compassion and emotion as he identifies and describes the eight Cornerstones for the Foundation of Educational Excellence based upon his personal experience as a 35 year veteran in the trenches as an educator. While some readers will laugh, others may cry when they read the unique life experiences utilized to vividly describe various obstacles preventing educators from teaching and students from learning. Many of the life experiences are not the typical examples found in most books or educational professional development activities. In addition, they provide many experiences that most educational leaders try to avoid as they do not wish to discuss them. The book is designed to provide an outstanding learning opportunity for both individual reading and for a more in-depth group book study as it includes a section for growth activities at the conclusion of each chapter. Also, each chapter includes a section of what successful individuals from all walks of life have to say about each specific topic. The book promotes self-analysis for educators to develop their skills and abilities thus improving educational excellence for all children.
