Many books published in the teaching field deal with pedagogy, classroom management, or the beginning teacher. Although many are quite helpful, it is rare to find a book that is written for the veteran teacher who could use a boost in morale and offer tips that will keep her/him going. Dr. Staszewski's book, Total Teaching, does just that. Filled with insightful examples and stories, Total Teaching weaves hints with a pep talk, keeping those who were meant for this professional in the profession. -- Margo Wolfe, English and drama teacher, public high school and freshman college writing (Erie, PA)
