“As a high school calculus teacher, I honestly did not see how this book would apply to me personally. I love teaching, and I don’t have aspirations of becoming a principal. However, Timothy Clark’s description of a true leader is what every devoted and caring teacher is striving to become! If all teachers were to genuinely put into practice the ideals described by Clark, the learning environment in classrooms across the country would change dramatically.”
