My Review
As PLC leaders at my school, we read this book together during our monthly meetings. It was so interesting and gave us great ideas and potent reminders about helping students as educators and administrators. Sometimes as educators, we get so caught up in the curriculum that we forgot why we are teaching and to whom we are teaching said curriculum to. Jimmy Casas motivated us as a faculty to set new personal and school goals. Putting students first was the overall message. The chapters are good lengths that you can pick the book up and read a chapter when you have some spare time. I recommend this read to educators in elementary and secondary education.
