What are people saying about our books?
"This is a must-have book for new and veteran teachers alike! Mark’s insight, after 25 years of teaching, is both enlightening and heartfelt. He not only draws from his experience as an amazing teacher, but also as a father, mentor, colleague, and former student. He gives thoughtful and knowledgeable advice based on his own history in education. You will hear some wonderful and inspiring stories, as well as some of his most challenging experiences. Mark makes us feel like we are not alone, and gives us the confidence to believe in ourselves and our students!"
~ Heidi Dillon, 28-year NJ Music Teacher
"I have had the privilege of previewing this book during one of the most challenging years of my career. This book reminded me that I do love my job and can make a difference every day. This book is a MUST read for people starting their careers and for everyone still plugging away at trying to make a difference. The tips and reminders along with Mark’s antidotes will leave you asking questions and hoping for the future!"
