I really enjoyed this book! It has come at the exact time I felt like throwing in the towel and looking for a new job. Hamish even made me feel like I can do this and that I can continue on with renewed energy and be relentless. These kids need us teachers who will care about them. I will definitely recommend this book to my colleagues! Thank you for hosting and putting this book into your repertoire!
I have always enjoyed these classes and this class was no different. I like the varied of activities, readings and TED talks. Mr Brewster is an amazing person so I am glad to have completed this class.
I always feel like I want to leave education but there are moments that draw me back in...I need to keep my passion and be excited to learn ALWAYS...Be here for the kids.
I attended a conference and Hamish was the guest speaker at it. Since listening to him, I have always wanted to read his book and this book study was the perfect excuse. I liked how the book had many lessons and pieces of advice, but it was also a personal story that was so touching and engaging. There isn't anything that I didn't like about this course and will be recommending it to colleagues!
I really enjoyed this book. One of the things that I liked most was Hamish Brewer’s rawness and realness. He does not try to present himself as perfect or polished or in any way better than anyone else but is simply real. He openly shares some of his own challenges and experiences and explains how those moments shaped who he is and how he leads. That honesty made the book feel relatable and more enjoyable to me. I appreciated that his leadership message is rooted in relationships, accountability, and showing up fully for students and staff. There wasn’t anything I didn’t like about the book or his concepts. The one thing I would say is that he seems to give so much to his job and students and it may be a difficult task for others to keep up with his energy, even though they care deeply, want to and have the best of intentions. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it, especially to administration of schools.
This book was wonderful!!! Yes, I'm taking this class to renew my teacher certificate and continue to carry my love of kids and teaching into my time subbing, but also, I can relate this to my own kids and family. I love the variety of reading the book and also the valuable TED talks. 2 thumbs up!
