Bob Katz, my friend and speaking manager, has a book out called Elaine’s Circle: A Teacher, A Student, A Classroom and One Unforgettable Year, “a true story of an inspiring fourth grade teacher in Eagle River, Alaska and a 10 year old boy diagnosed with a terminal brain cancer.” Here’s my favorite blurb of it, among many from the likes of Daniel Goleman and Marc Brown (“Arthur”):

There is an enormous library of books on education — the theory, the practice. But Bob Katz here gives us a book that gets to the heart and soul of teaching, of learning, by telling an unforgettable story of one teacher, one class, one year, one fourth grade child. — Howard Zinn

I haven’t read it yet, but it got a good review in Publishers Weekly and Bob is a good writer. [Technorati tags: BobKatz ElainesCircle books] [Technorati tags: BobKatz ElainesCircle books education]
