DEDICA
TION
This book is dedicated to all of the teachers who want to see results. Those teachers who want to see the fruits of their labor immediately. To the strategists that understand the politics, but more appreciate the process and the lifelong impact that learning brings about. To the teacher that is determined to see results and want to make a difference. As a fellow educator that is still in the classroom, I know the struggle of how to effectively pull it all together, this book is for you. I hope it helps make the load a little lighter.

Teachers teach from the heart and a place of pure passion, and not just from the book for the sake of a test!
