every day in the classroom. They stand out through the way they think, how they relate to students, and how much they care about their learning.
In the new, revised edition of his book, Todd Whitaker, one of the leading experts on supporting and motivating teachers, reveals the essence of teaching through practice. He observes effective teachers where their work truly matters: in the small, everyday choices that shape meaningful teaching.
With clarity, humor, and a deep understanding of the realities of school life, he explores:
- how to build a supportive and challenging learning environment,
- how to cultivate high expectations first for teachers themselves and then for their students, and
- how teachers’ attitudes and practices have a significant impact on learning.
A book offering immediately applicable ideas and practices, as well as a way of thinking that transforms teaching as a whole.
