Elaine's Circle audio bookElaine's Circle: A Teacher, a Student, a Classroom and One Unforgettable Year by Bob Katz - MP3 Audio Book

"Elaine Moore, a veteran teacher in Eagle Rock, Alaska, is a firm believer that the classroom is, first and foremost, a community—and that learning is best when shared in a circle of peers.

When one of her students, ten-year-old Seamus Farrell, is diagnosed with terminal cancer, Elaine and her innovative teaching methods are put to the test.

Elaine’s Circle is a heartfelt look at the remarkable achievement of one dedicated teacher and the children who put her lesson into practice, “Learning is not just something we do in school. It is something we do until the day we die.”

Bob Katz is the coauthor of The New Public School Parent and author of the novel, Hot Air. He lives in Massachusetts."
