Reviews for Putting Teachers First: How to Inspire, Motivate, and Connect with Your Staff

When the educational demands seem to be too great, it is a book like this that will instantly remind you as to WHY you got into education. You will never doubt the value you add and the gift you are as Dr. Johnson sparks every emotion as he shares the importance of taking care of you so you can take care of our students. --LaVonna Roth, Creator and Founder of Ignite Your S.H.I.N.E. (R) Brad Johnson gets it. He understands that the journey of becoming an effective school leader is inextricably linked with the process of understanding teachers, of connecting with teachers, and of supporting teachers. My own experience over the last 25 years validates the truth and wisdom found on every page of Putting Teachers First. The insights communicated by Johnson are invaluable for administrators who are committed to developing their own skill set as leaders. --Danny Steele, Principal, Speaker, Blogger at Steelethoughts.com, and Author of Essential Truths for Teachers with Todd Whitaker
