The attitude and practices of a good teacher are unmistakeable, and a progression to this exemplary status should be the ultimate goal of every public school instructor. The beginning teacher needs to know how to negotiate the public school mine fields, and become a better teacher. Every teachers' goal should be to finally become one who not only continues to improve each lesson in each unit of every course but to work systematically to prevent students from falling through the cracks while always teaching on a very high level using the mental tools that will allow students to learn deeply and on their own for a lifetime. This book is about teaching and learning that can connect a teacher to the bedrock of education and professional authenticity. Beginning and negotiating the public schools as a new teacher, adopting a dedication to learning and teaching, far beyond that which is required, and educating students? minds: these are the essential components of the teaching trilogy.
