From the author and illustrator of Our Class is a Family, this touching picture book expresses a teacher's sentiments and well wishes on the last day of school. Serving as a follow up to the letter in A Letter From Your Teacher: On the First Day of School, it's a read aloud for teachers to bid a special farewell to their students at the end of the school year. Through a letter written from the teacher's point of view, the class is invited to reflect back on memories made, connections formed, and challenges met. The letter expresses how proud their teacher is of them, and how much they will be missed. Students will also leave on that last day knowing that their teacher is cheering them on for all of the exciting things to come in the future. There is a blank space on the last page for teachers to sign their own name, so that students know that the letter in the book is coming straight from them. With its sincere message and inclusive illustrations, A Letter From Your Teacher: On the Last Day of School is a valuable addition to any elementary school teacher's classroom library.

When John Fairbrother converted to Christianity in the 1970s, his entire life changed. Because of a spiritual revival and an enlightened heart that could love his Savior, John’s life change affected every aspect of his life, including in the classroom, and his methodology in classroom discipline, grading habits, and assembly material changed dramatically. He adopted a new sense of boldness while instructing—from teaching Old Testament prophets and miracles during school assemblies, witnessing to students in his class who showed interest in his faith, or merely loving his students as his own children, John truly desired for his students to know and love his God as much as he did. In My Teaching Days and the Lessons I Learned, John shares deeply personal stories about his life, and he also brings up interesting, relevant questions about the education system in England. Should corporal punishment be revisited? Are we overmedicating our children or too quick to diagnose them with mental conditions? Should all faiths and religions be taught in schools or just one? John explores a variety of issues he personally faced while teaching throughout the decades and offers strong opinions informed by his belief in Christ. Throughout his tenure, John went through several administrations and befriended many colleagues who tried to dissuade him of his convictions, but despite the overwhelming opposition, the Lord still worked in dozens of his students’ lives and allowed John to continue to proclaim the work of his God in public education. Several teachers face forms of persecution in the workplace even today, but perhaps with the encouragement in My Teaching Days and the Lessons I Learned, they can rely on Him for their daily strength. John Fairbrother witnessed God work in unpredictable, supernatural, and powerful ways, some of which are recorded in his writing. The Lord is still working, and to Him be all the glory.

The untold story of the root cause of America's education crisis--and the seemingly endless cycle of multigenerational poverty. It was only after years within the education reform movement that Natalie Wexler stumbled across a hidden explanation for our country's frustrating lack of progress when it comes to providing every child with a quality education. The problem wasn't one of the usual scapegoats: lazy teachers, shoddy facilities, lack of accountability. It was something no one was talking about: the elementary school curriculum's intense focus on decontextualized reading comprehension "skills" at the expense of actual knowledge. In the tradition of Dale Russakoff's The Prize and Dana Goldstein's The Teacher Wars, Wexler brings together history, research, and compelling characters to pull back the curtain on this fundamental flaw in our education system--one that fellow reformers, journalists, and policymakers have long overlooked, and of which the general public, including many parents, remains unaware. But The Knowledge Gap isn't just a story of what schools have gotten so wrong--it also follows innovative educators who are in the process of shedding their deeply ingrained habits, and describes the rewards that have come along: students who are not only excited to learn but are also acquiring the knowledge and vocabulary that will enable them to succeed. If we truly want to fix our education system and unlock the potential of our neediest children, we have no choice but to pay attention.
