Praise for this book

"At last! A book that pushes past the idea that students should be test-taking machines by emphasizing relationship building and providing practical advice to teachers."--Kristie Betts Letter, English Teacher (10/23/2009 12:00:00 AM)
"I loved the premise of the book. It touched my soul."--Patricia Bowman, Instructional Consultant (11/9/2009 12:00:00 AM)
"It was refreshing to read about what I truly believe in and work at every year in my classroom."--Sandi Phair, Second-Grade Teacher (10/23/2009 12:00:00 AM)
"A topic whose time has come and is perhaps long overdue. Teachers know how to teach, but they want to connect with their kids to make that teaching effective. This book empowers teachers to complete what is missing in their work."--Jude A. Huntz, Adult Education Coordinator (10/23/2009 12:00:00 AM)
"Wayside teaching is not taught as an educational strategy, yet its impact is undeniable. The book defines the concept and demonstrates how teachers can implement this tangential form of learning on a regular basis."--Marilyn Steneken, Science Teacher (10/23/2009 12:00:00 AM)
"If teaching has left you wrung out academically and dried out emotionally, this book is for you. By using studies proving the power of wayside teaching, Powell has freed teachers to create meaningful relationships with students that will not only inspire them to greater academic achievement, but help them become emotionally healthy and resilient adults."--Jennifer Y. Cheng, Teacher (10/23/2009 12:00:00 AM)
