What does it really take to teach? In Mr. Booker's 7 Maxims of Teaching, veteran educator Gary C. Booker draws on over two decades in classrooms-public and private-to share hard-earned wisdom on what it means to truly teach. These seven maxims are more than theory; they're real, practical principles grounded in experience, humanity, and love for young people. This book is for anyone who teaches or mentors youth-whether in a school, a community program, or anywhere growth happens. Mr. Booker doesn't shy away from today's challenges: from inequities in education to the emotional labor teachers quietly carry. With clarity, humor, and honesty, he reminds us that teaching is not just instruction-it's nation-building. If you believe in your students, are willing to grow alongside them, and still have love for this messy, meaningful work, this book will speak to you.
