The Lesson Plan: An Educator's Inspiration (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780692220474)

K. L. Herald never intended to work in the field of education. As an ambitious student, she graduated from college hoping to achieve boundless success. Yet, she had no solid plan of how she would bring to life her aspirations. After working for several youth-based organizations, her uncanny knack to connect with children was noticed by an educator who was convinced K. L. that her talent was most needed in the local school system. Without a degree in Education or knowledge in the field, she took a leap of faith to become a teacher. In just 5 short years, K. L. went from being a budding classroom teacher to one of the youngest Assistant Principals in her district. By diversifying her teaching and leadership style, her progressive approach shifted the mindset of her fellow educators which allowed them to take ownership of their invaluable impact on students' lives. Her unique ability to connect and motivate others has extended beyond the school system and into the surround community. The Lesson Plan: An Educator's Inspiration explores the landscape of K. L. Herald's journey in today's ever changing field of academia.
