    About this ebook

    Dr. Adolph Brown has been reviewed and rated as a top-ranked educator and trainer from America's best colleges and universities. He is in the top 1% of world-class scholar teachers based on teaching performance, teaching awards, published evaluations, newspaper write-ups, and other sources. Doc's lectures are often described as that once-in-a-lifetime experience. As a Master Teacher, Doc is a gifted scholar, explainer, enthusiast, communicator ? and yes, an entertainer. His ideas have been described as intoxicating as a new love.

    And possibly a brief quote about the book from Reg Weaver, former President of the National Education Association. I would like you to add a brief synopsis of the book for the back cover as well.

    "Dr. Adolph Brown believes, as I do, that every young person can achieve. He is driven to reach out to youngsters who are falling and failing. And he is inspired to explore ways to help all children reach their full potential."

    Reg Weaver
    President
    National Education Association

    "Although I believe that there is no one "cookbook quick fix" approach to teaching our young, this one book does a great job of helping adults bring out the teacher within us all."

    John Hicks
    Ret. Superintendent, Sussex County Public Schools

    "I use this text to supplement my classroom lectures. The 'lightness' of the text helps my students understand that there are no pat answers or foolproof blueprints for teaching. This book is easy-to-read, engaging, enjoyable, and also contains profound knowledge."

    Professor, Hampton University

      Dedicated to

      All of the instructors, trainers, and supervisors I have studied with over the past 25 years.

      Terry Morawski (aka TMo) has given me considerable time and energy that has been invaluable in completing this book.

      Thanks to my reviewers: Mrs. Susan Tolley, Mrs. Marla Brown, and Dr. Gregory Pierce, M.D.

      The countless interactions in the classroom have given me endless opportunities to learn and evolve as a Master Teacher. I am deeply indebted to all the students I have either personally taught or lectured throughout my travels for sharing so much of themselves and being involved in the process of personal growth and exploration.

      I thank my mother, Virginia Brown, and Great-aunt, Lorraine Moore, who always encouraged me to be a free spirit (within reason) and taught me the importance of education and continued learning. I thank my grandfather who gave me unconditional love.

      Most of all, my greatest heartfelt appreciation goes to my wife, Marla, and family. You guys are and will continue to be my greatest teachers and inspiration.Thank you for insisting that I practice what I teach and for giving me plenty of opportunities to do so.
