I thought readers might be interested in seeing the cover, reading a description, and reviewing the Table of Contents (still in the process of being slightly revised) of my upcoming book, Helping Students Motivate Themselves: Practical Answers To Classroom Challenges.
The book will be officially published by Eye On Education on April 30th (though it might actually be in-stock prior to that date), and I will be sharing links to how to order the book and to excerpts that will be published in various publications prior to that date.
