Respected for her candid leadership and unshakable belief that “practice makes progress,” Amanda is not just a teacher of students—she is a teacher of teachers.

In this book, she shares the real strategies, hard-won lessons, and mindset shifts that have made her classrooms the ones principals show off—and the ones students never forget.
