"Anger in the Classroom will help teachers figure out the causes of anger and how to prevent it. Lots of good case studies." --Temple Grandin


A teacher with classroom experience over a period of years will naturally grow as an effective teacher. A teacher who does this with increased attention will be able to grow more quickly and fully. A teacher who adds to this, intention and self-study, will grow rapidly, and surpass the natural limits each of us has built-in. The real transformation may begin--along with a richness that might at times seem extraordinary, for both student and teacher.
