Book excerpt: The New York Times–bestselling author and world-renown teacher offers no-nonsense wisdom for teachers of all ages There’s no one teachers trust more to give them classroom advice than Rafe Esquith. After more than thirty years on the job, Esquith still puts in the countless classroom hours familiar to every dedicated educator. But where his New York Times bestseller Teach Like Your Hair’s on Fire was food for a teacher’s mind, Real Talk for Real Teachers is food for a teacher’s soul. Esquith candidly tackles the three stages of life for the career teacher and offers encouragement to see them through the difficult early years, advice on mid-career classroom building, and novel ideas for longtime educators. With his trademark mix of humor, practicality, and boundless compassion, Esquith proves the perfect companion for teachers who need a quick pick-me-up, a long heart-to-heart, or just a momentary reminder that they’re not alone.

Watch Paul Hernandez present on TEDx "This book should be required reading for any educator (future, present, or past) who is dedicated to giving voice to students who have become marginalized by our current educational practices and society as a whole. By creating a culture in which students feel safe exposing their own hopes and fears and discussing their realities, we have real opportunities to establish content and context connections that lend relevance to our students’ learning." Rich Hall, Principal Henrico County Public Schools "Most of us really do care about our students, and especially our at-risk students. But we’re out of ideas for how to work with students who don’t want to be in school, don’t want to engage, won’t do the work—students who don’t want to learn. In this book, Paul Hernandez gives caring teachers a useful tool for connecting with at-risk students and for reaffirming that, deep down, they really do want to learn, after all." Scott Hollinger, University Professor and Instructional Coach Teachers College, Columbia University

Book excerpt: The inspiring, unlikely, laugh-out-loud story of how one woman learned to lead–and how she ultimately succeeded, not despite her many mistakes, but because of them. This is the story of how Kristen Hadeed built Student Maid, a cleaning company where people are happy, loyal, productive, and empowered, even while they’re mopping floors and scrubbing toilets. It’s the story of how she went from being an almost comically inept leader to a sought-after CEO who teaches others how to lead. Hadeed unintentionally launched Student Maid while attending college ten years ago. Since then, Student Maid has employed hundreds of students and is widely recognized for its industry-leading retention rate and its culture of trust and accountability. But Kristen and her company were no overnight sensa­tion. In fact, they were almost nothing at all. Along the way, Kristen got it wrong almost as often as she got it right. Giving out hugs instead of feed­back, fixing errors instead of enforcing accountability, and hosting parties instead of cultivating meaning­ful relationships were just a few of her many mistakes. But Kristen’s willingness to admit and learn from those mistakes helped her give her people the chance to learn from their own screwups too. Permission to Screw Up dismisses the idea that leaders and orga­nizations should try to be perfect. It encourages people of all ages to go for it and learn to lead by acting, rather than waiting or thinking. Through a brutally honest and often hilarious account of her own strug­gles, Kristen encourages us to embrace our failures and proves that we’ll be better leaders when we do.

Book excerpt: Teachers, probation officers, school administrators, counselors, therapists, psychologists, parents, and anyone who truly cares about our youth will be both inspired and motivated to do their part to positively impact the lives of our youth. Real Talk is full of raw honesty and humor! Readers will learn that human kindness is alive and well as they read the many examples of people cheering the author on in spite of her humble beginnings. It is more than appropriate to say that Sheree has truly turned tragedy into triumph with the growing number of youth Real Talk has impacted thus far. In addition to seeing her brothers choose lives of crime, Sheree's previous careers give her special insight into the lives of at-risk youth. Her professional life drew her to dedicate herself to serving children and teens. Later she supervised (with stern understanding) juvenile and adult offenders as a youth parole officer and federal probation officer. "The Program inspired me to make better choices and to do the right thing and that it's not worth living the life that I wanted to live" "The most effective part of the Program was hearing about the speakers past and how much they regret it now" " What I enjoyed about the Program is that people don't get paid for what they are doing at Real Talk" " I learned that everyone is fortunate and you only get one shot at life"
