If you are a teacher, parent, district employee, or just know a kid down the block, There Are No Shortcuts by Rafe Esquith is for you! It is well written, intelligent, and hard to put down. His story is both inspiring and possible for all teachers (and for those who aren’t teachers: you should know what a great teacher looks like)!
Nutshell: Rafe teaches fifth grade at an inner-city school but he didn't start out there. His discoveries and mistakes as a beginning teacher start an amazing journey to the award-winning teacher he is today.
