“Great teaching is rarely, if ever, based on WHAT I’m going to teach or HOW I’m going to teach it. Extraordinary moments in the classroom are always based on WHY I’m teaching. With a big enough WHY, the WHAT and the HOW always seem to fall into place. Read The Power of a Teacher and allow it to rekindle the why in your heart – both you and your students deserve it.”
–Hal Bowman

“Adam is indeed a rare breed of psychologist: a refreshing—even uncanny—ability to merge science with practice, and a teaching style that’s not only insightful, but actually fun. If you’re looking for a tool to build health and unity on your campus, you just found it.”

“Beginning with his own inspiring story, Adam has masterfully collected poignant narratives capturing the power of teachers to change lives in profound and lasting ways.
But Adam knows mere stories are not enough to transform practice. Perspective, insight, and wisdom from these stories must be garnered and shared to harness the power needed
for meaningful transformation. The Power of a Teacher will warm hearts, but more importantly, it will illuminate and inform practice.”

all.”

race in no time.”

“If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my life it is that I really am my brother’s keeper. Knowing that requires me to make a difference when I can. The Power of a Teacher is
a great reminder about the impact we can have when we take the time to care and act. I highly recommend it!
