Barbara Blackburn obviously knows what it's like to be a classroom teacher. Every one of the chapters - from A to Z - is loaded with practical guidelines for engaging students in meaningful learning experiences. Classroom Motivation from A to Z is a perfect tool for professional development for teachers of all levels. Principals would be wise to put a copy in the hands of every teacher in their school. It will spark conversation and lead to more motivated students - and teachers!
