truthful

This was a very truthful and enlightening text. It served me well in my Educational seminar class.

If you are a teacher, read it.

This book was one of the most important of my teaching career. We hear all the time about the incredible number of people leaving our profession because of burn-out. In this book, Graves takes a look at the actions teachers can take to help maintain and increase the intellectual energy required to be a successful teacher. An excellent resource.

The book had many great ideas to help teachers meet the needs of their students while increasing their own energy level. However, I think it went a little over board on the interviews.
