THE EXCELLENT 11 An Award Winning Teacher's Guide to Raising Children Who Love to Learn

Enthusiasm, adventure, creativity, reflection, balance, compassion, confidence, humor, common sense, appreciation, and resilience are the basis of this newest guide to teaching by the popular author of THE ESSENTIAL 55. Narrating in his unmistakable North Carolina accent, Clark is a wonderful writer with stories that are a perfect match for his ideas on teaching. Describing but never gloating over his achievements, he challenges listeners, inspires them, and provides an entertaining listening experience in the process. Though some of the techniques and strategies require heroic devotion to the job, he describes them with old-fashioned humility that inspires rather than intimidates. An appealing abridgment of a formidable but inviting lesson. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC 04/ JAN 05]
