parents, administrators, and fellow educators. This book helps
teachers avoid some of the frustration by providing solutions for

performance

battle – it’s usually everything else that makes teachers

systems in place ahead of time, readers can handle challenges
swiftly and skillfully with Quick Answers for Busy
