Answering the Call to Teach: A Novel Approach to Exceptional Classroom Instruction: A Novel Approach to Exceptional Classroom Instruction - Tapa blanda

Today, more than ever we need teachers who are alive, who are passionate and who teach because it is their calling to teach. Those who are alive and awake, awaken others with their love passion. Charlese is one such woman and her book is a rallying call for to those who are called to make teaching their vocation. -- Nick Williams I don't know where I would be without some of the great teachers that I have had in my life. I don't know why we don't value our teachers more in this country especially the great ones. Our teachers have helped formulate some of the greatest minds in our world including the President and they don't get enough credit. Part of my success has been due to teachers encouraging me and pushing me further than I ever dreamed I could go. My favorite teacher, Charlese Brown walked into my life in 1991 and she has been there for me ever since! This woman was more than a teacher to me. She has been a mentor, a friend, a confidant - like a mother to me. She was one of the first teachers that I had that did not teach us from a textbook and challenged us in many ways. I realized when I got to high school, that I was learning high school biology and chemistry in 7th and 8th grade! She always encouraged us to reach for the stars and to never give up on our dreams. When we accomplished something, she just calmly said, "I knew you would do it and I am not surprised at all." Teachers like Charlese don't get enough recognition in our world, but they don't do their occupation for accolades and definitely not for money. They do it so that their students will one day become a success and a positive force in their communities. That's all of the thanks that they need! -- Marla Watts

There is more to teaching than purely translating academic concepts to children. Teaching is a vocation. The book creates a framework by which training institutions can use so that our children are getting the best teachers.
