Teaching is not an easy task. Teachers meet students from different backgrounds with different needs and personalities. The teachers must adopt an effective teaching style to meet each student's academic needs and provide a wholesome learning experience. The Art of Education by Lola Kay offers incredible insights and tips for teachers to create a fulfilling educational experience in a positive, healthy, interactive environment. Thus creating a space that celebrates every student.
 
There are so many positive aspects to this book. It is a guidebook that offers incredible insights to educators and teachers to elevate their teaching experience and enable students to learn better. The author brings much attention to tiny details, which are usually overlooked when carrying on the business of teaching. The importance of classroom routines, behavior-specific praises, constructive feedback, and social interaction, which may come through a simple way of greeting, is nuanced throughout the book. For her, routines and relationship building are the core ingredients in changing classroom dynamics.
 
She delves into the fundamentals, showing readers how much of a difference and impact her strategies would have on every teacher's teaching experience. She includes differentiation strategies and case studies showing the practical application of her tips. The book is exceptionally well edited. I could not find any errors in the book. The tone of the book is well-suited to the subject matter. It is almost as if I were in a class for a lesson. The tone is engaging, fun, informal, and, at the same time, incredibly enlightening. She recognizes the need for teachers to take a break despite their devotion to their work.
 
There are no negative aspects to this book. I rate this book 5 out of 5 stars because it also goes beyond the confines of classroom experience to touch on real-life skills such as time management, critical thinking, and empathy. I recommend this book to teachers and educators looking to improve their teaching experience and students.

All students learn differently. This would make it very difficult to meet thr needs of all students at all timed. I understand from this review, however, that the author is able to make suggestions that would enable a teacher to try heartily, if not successfully. Thanks!

The book is intriguing. Simple things can be overlooked but yield such a great outcome. In the case of routine and feedback, students' potential to grow is maximized and I really enjoyed reading how to learn rather than just teach other people. You can teach yourself too! Anyway cool review, I liked it and am stirred to finish reading the book.

There is always a need for this type of book. It offers a less rigid and more holistic approach to the oh-so-important aspect of teaching. I liked the methods expounded. Thanks for the helpful review.

"The Art of Education" by Lola Kay is a very useful tool for teachers who have such an important and sometime thankless job. I was inspired by your review! In the sample I love the following quote
"When we view challenges as opportunities, we become more responsive and more effective."
Teachers have such an impact on the lives of their students, let's make it a positive one.

Very informative review. Education and teaching is one of these things that can always use new strategies/approaches, and from reading this review and the free sample, it seems like this book is a really nice addition to that.

Great review! As one with plenty of educators in their family, and even pursuing that field myself in different ways, I will always appreciate and encourage better support for teachers (in all their forms). The more strength we have in that, the more time and energy teachers will have to put into the tools and skills discussed in this book.
