Rezensionen

John has been in the trenches of secondary and higher education for many years, and throughout this time he has held tight to a student-centered approach that emphasizes equal measures of caring, thought, reflection, humility, and action. The ideas shared in this book are relevant and important for any teacher who considers themselves a lifelong learner and an advocate for students. Bill Barrett Head of School Landmark School
