Following each quote, this inspirational guide includes:  Three reflective questions relating the core idea of the quote to teaching practices Lesson prompts that provide ways to use the quote with your students Literature links that identify books for K through 2, 3 through 8, and 9 through 12 and how to use them to extend student learning and thinking related to the quote The authors have created a unique resource to help you deepen your thinking.
