""If ONLY I had a guide like this to support me through my own personal journey as a teacher in my early years! The strategic, thoughtful and intentional tools offered in this book are a gift to anyone who is beginning their educator journey and gives them the affirmation and reminders they need to step into their worth and uniqueness in their own classroom communities. I know they say ′you can′t teach an old dog new tricks,′ but THIS old teacher added some things to her own personal toolbox! This is a guide for us all to use as we promote inclusion, community, and collaboration in our own classrooms."" -- Laurie McIntosh
