1 comments about Mary McLeod Bethune: Building a Better World.

1. Mary McLeod Bethune is one of those known/unknown African-American heroines. While many have heard her name, still many don't know of her longtime, prosperous friendship with Eleanor Roosevelt, or the details about her life as a young southern girl with more than a dozen brothers and sisters. Many also know there's a college in Daytona named for her, in part (Bethune-Cookman), but they don't know her relationship to the institution. This book, a comprehensive look at her life, answers many of those questions, and more. For those who already know about her life and want more depth (or even a biography written for adults, rather than the many children's books on Bethune), or for those who don't know Bethune's accomplishments, this is a godsend. It's clearly written, chocked with information, and might even be a welcome addition to many school libraries. An informational gem.

1 comments about Top Texas Teachers.

1. Top Texas Teachers uses the short biographical sketch format to briefly examine the careers of teachers who do their jobs well. In this time when everyone has a "magic formula" or "secret test" to suddenly solve all the challenges in our school, it's a pleasure to read this book, which takes on the question 'what makes a good teacher?' one teacher at a time. The striking thing about the teachers here is what a diverse set of circumstances and personalities are found among the educators profiled. The author skilfully shows us that the common threads are not identical personalities or approaches, but rather the more straightforward values of diligence and compassion. The book is an extremely easy and entertaining read. If you've wanted to understand teaching from the perspective of "who makes it work?" rather than the more familiar "everything's wrong", this is an excellent place to start.
