Summary

Summary

This is a book that speaks directly to students and practitioners of education who wish to become clearer about what being a superlative teacher is all about - not the mechanics of instruction, but the essence of what has made great teachers powerful in commanding attention, respect and devotion from their students. The book contains a number of messages that are designed to inspire newcomers to the profession in many ways. The authors focus on the unique human factors that others find so inspirational, that motivate people to go beyond their perceived limits and that help them to find answers to the questions that are most significant.
