In You Are #1, stories and science merge in order to create an understanding about how the power of a teacher stays with everyone for the rest of their lives. See why YOU remember those individuals from YOUR days in school and learn how YOU can become the #1 best teacher and role model for each and every one of your students who learns from YOU every single day.

The authentic stories presented in this book offer ideas for fostering a positive learning environment and for finding solutions to the most challenging issues today in areas such as teacher‒student relationships, learning and instruction, assessment, motivation, educational policies and politics, and student engagement. By using the powerful self-reflective tool of narrative, this book will help educators to increase student achievement while constructing a positive school culture that is built on igniting authentic stories.
