Through the art of storytelling Dr. Robert Dillon has crafted an inspirational call to action for the types of transformative changes schools desperately need. He provides clear action steps that any educator, regardless of position, can initiate and sustain meaningful change that will create a culture of teaching and learning primed for student achievement and success. The fact that he ties in stories of other practicing educators adds to this resource that, in my opinion, is desperately needed. Dr. Dillon's work fits in nicely with that of Yong Zhao making it a compelling read for all in the education space.
