The world needs more educators like you! You are an educator who is looking to up their teaching game. Chances are, you are already making a big difference in the lives of young people, but you also know in your heart that you can do and be more. I wrote Head of the Class: The Art of Teaching Outside the Lines, especially for YOU. I am an award-winning educator with twenty-four years of classroom experience. I struggled mightily through my early years as a teacher for the simple reason that I was underprepared; for both the mental rigors that are inherent to teaching as well as the academic strategies needed to be successful in the classroom. I began to study the masters of the field, the Teacher of the Year winners. They employed a different mindset than me. It is this mindset that is at the core of my book. I wrote it to help you warp speed your practice from wherever it currently is to a place among the superstars of our profession. The book is packed with personal anecdotes, insights, and teaching strategies, all designed to skyrocket your teaching to world-class status.
