Interesting though it went over my head a little.

Where does The Courage to Teach rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Somewhere in the middle, neither great, nor awful.

What other book might you compare The Courage to Teach to, and why?

Partly the 2 books I read about standards and accountability and partly time Out for Teachers and there's room For Me Here. It had enough case studies like those 2 books, but talked about methods of teaching a bit like the books on standards and accountability.

What does Stefan Rudnicki bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

I don't know as I didn't have any choice but to listen to it.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

NoMaybe the bit about the "student from hell" but I'm not sure if anything else did.

Any additional comments?

I'm not a teacher so maybe I shouldn't be surprised that some of this book drifted over my head somewhat. still, it had enough interest to keep me going.

Says so much without saying anything

I really have no clue what this author’s main points are. He seems to flit from one thing to the next without much direction- signposting is much needed. He also doesn’t seem to say anything whilst every point is reached at some incredibly wordy and roundabout way. Very cryptic and not much practical use. Gave up halfway through.

Courage to listen!

An excessive - overly wordy book - the author apparently took 10 years to write this book writing and rewriting - smacks me of an intellectual academic trying to impress over indulging in word play. Just get to the point - got to chapter 2 and have to leave it where it is to hard to find the kernel of knowledge he is trying to impart.
