=**Welcome to the Era Teachers Book Study!**=

//**Teach Like Your Hair is On Fire**// **by Rafe Esquith**

 * Praise for Rafe Esquith:**

“Rafe Esquith is my only hero.”**—Sir Ian McKellan**

“Politicians, burbling over how to educate the underclass, would do well to stop by Rafe Esquith’s fifth grade class as it mounts its annual Shakespeare play. Sound like a grind? Listen to the peals of laughter bouncing off the classroom walls.”//**—Time**//

“Esquith is a modern-day Thoreau, preaching the value of good work, honest self-reflection, and the courage to go one’s own way.”//**—Newsday**//


 * I am sure that we will all gain so much from this study! This is a book that every time I read it, I become more and more engaged! Even if you have previously read this book, please take the time to read again, it is definitely worth it~**
