ABSTRACT

This is GOOD. Really, really extraordinary stuff. I don't think I've ever seen a similar book on education.

- Seth Godin

Tim writes with flair … A book you can read, dip into, come back to, and I can imagine these pages appearing on a student or teachers desk to inspire, contemplate, or react to.

- John Hattie

If you are after a compendium of detailed lesson plans, this is not the book for you.

If you want to hear from a self-professed teaching guru, this is not the book for you.
