Rezensionen

"As a teacher, the daily grind can leave you feeling as if you are simply a worker drone set out to follow orders given by those in charge. Mirror Images breaks that stereotype by defining the myriad of ways that teachers use their strengths to be leaders in today's schools on a daily basis. Every teacher - rookie or veteran - can identify with at least one, if not many, of the teacher leaders defined by Dr. Reason, which empowers teachers to realize that they can individually make an impact on the way a school is run. Mirror Images is a guide book for teachers looking to use their strengths in order to make a difference in the field of education."
