Teachers are the superheroes that our kids need and deserve.
On average, it takes five years for someone to earn a teaching degree and only four spent teaching for them to decide to do something else. Why? It's certainly not because they don't want to teach. In Don't Forget Your Cape: Inspirational Words for Aspirational Teachers, Dr. Mark Gudgel shares the sage advice he gives to his student teachers and practicum students as their professor. Born from eighteen years of both triumph and tribulation as a public school teacher, Gudgel's advice is relatable, applicable, and reminds teachers in no uncertain terms that they are the world's last best hope, and the only thing standing between society and the abyss. Full of advice, inspiration, and ideas written in celebration of the heroes we call teachers, Don't Forget Your Cape is a must-read for new and veteran educators alike.
