Teaching With Care

Cultivating Personal Qualities That Make a Difference

Lenore Sandel, editor

In today’s standards-focused environment, we often overlook a real key to student achievement: teachers’ personal qualities. In this collection, respected educators give their views on what it takes to be an outstanding teacher.

The essays speak on a personal level, providing novice and experienced teachers with guidance about what it takes to be an excellent educator. Reflection questions at the start of each section will help you relate essay topics to your own practice.

A perfect gift for the special teacher in your life or for yourself, Teaching With Care provides reaffirmation for the experienced, inspiration for the beginner, and reflective renewal for all.
