'The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.' ~ William A. Ward I enjoyed reading Debbie Gray’s book as much as I enjoy walking into her classroom. Sometimes I come back early from my plan period just to slip into the room and watch the children delight in the experiences they have in her music room. Tricks of the Trade may have been written for music teachers, but the ideas for classroom management could be successfully used in any classroom that has a caring, enthusiastic, loving teacher. This would be a great gift book for any new teacher and has so many ideas that even some experienced teachers could find a wealth of techniques to explore to make teaching and learning fun.-Melanie Caywood, teacher You don’t have to be a Veterinarian to enjoy 'All Things Bright and Beautiful' and you don’t have to be a teacher to find many wise and useful tricks collected and revealed in Debbie Grays entertaining book. Like her performances, the manuscript has energy, polish, and fun. Parents, camp leaders, anyone who works with children or adults will find fascinating stories, thoughtful quotations, and fun techniques. Be warned: there are a few experiences recounted that may change you. ~ Randy Peterson, parent
