Overview

"Lessons from Starfish is the story of a teacher who didn't really plan to be a teacher - and the children who taught her the most about teaching and learning. The author shares this about her book: ""I hope that my starfish stories are an invitation to practitioners and parents - and all those who work with children - to take the journey with our students that can lead to the heart of teaching and learning. I also hope that through these stories, parent readers, educators and community will gain insight into the many ways that we are all important educational partners who play significant roles in our children's educational lives.""In this memoir, you will meet seven children who inspired their teacher to ""make a difference"" - not just for the seven - but for all the children she taught."
