How can teachers ensure that every student who graduates is competent in subject matter and responsible in citizenship? Dan Kahler explains how, through the STAR theory: Successful Teachers Are Real. Not only are excellent teachers sound in pedagogy, they are genuine, empathetic, and have a high regard for all students. This handbook illustrates how, through specific examples, educators can positively affect their students for life. Kahler also demonstrates how school and district conditions cause success in connection with an excellent teaching staff. More than simply a book on pedagogy, or a handbook for school reform, Successful Schools is an inspirational tool that will aid anyone involved in education.

Successful Schools should be required reading for anyone - educator, parent, and student - who wants to understand how the classroom contributes to and detracts from the foundation of citizenship and self-achievement. As urbanization continues to test the moral and social fabric of communities, schools have increasingly become more influential in the development of self-identity and social behavior. STAR Theory details more than a superior academic journey; it prescribes an approach to explicitly use the classroom to reinforce constructive, active membership in the community. This work brilliantly summarizes fifty years of personal experience from an educator who has successfully mentored the development of 20,000 students (self included). It is thoroughly readable, immediately applicable, sensibly irreproachable, and tremendously inspirational.
