Review of "Teacher to Teacher"

This book was about a group of teachers who got together on their own time to form a class. These teachers met at least once a week to discuss the successes and failures that they experience throughout their classroom. The overall theme of the book and the meetings is collaboration. These classes are about discussion things like the trials and errors or creating a curriculum, multicultural issues in the classroom, classroom motivation, alternatives to working straight from the textbook, students vs. our personal lives, parents and grading. When I read this book, I felt as if I was a part of the class. I was very in tune with what the teachers were saying, because working in the school systems I am sympathetic with their failures and successes.
