Each chapter is full of wonderful thoughts, quotes, and concepts that will help you, the educator, get your point across to your audience, whether they are students, parents, or colleagues. Too often an educator feels that he or she cannot be heard. Here are thoughts and ideas to inspire both you and those with whom you share them.
