Teachers and administrators are burned out and need tools to become extraordinary educators for their students and this book infuses tools that work. Like Chloe, I personally loved teaching but hated it at times due to several unforeseen circumstances out of my control. This can become frustrating and affect your attitude and make connecting with students tough. Shane put some things in perspective for Chloe as he challenged her to change her mindset to do better by speaking to her about his shortcomings and how he overcame them to become an extraordinary educator. As Shane stated, it’s time to end the ordinary and become ‘Extraordinary’ educators. It takes a secret society of educators to train other educators to ensure all students are given the opportunity to be successful and this book explains how educators can better connect with their students. There is so much power in connection. Every student is one caring adult away from being a success story. If you want to be that one caring adult your students need, this book will guide you in the right direction.”\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e-          \u003cb\u003eRobert Jackson\u003c\/b\u003e, International Speaker\/Award Winning ASCD Author, Educator for 27 Years\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e“Shaun Woodly is a masterful storyteller who has the gift of providing fresh insight as our educational system continues to shift towards better.
