Dedication

To our parents who were our first teachers;

To our children who taught us to be masterful teachers by teaching us the art of patience, negotiation, tenacity, and unconditional love;

To our formal and nonformal teachers from cradle to today who were forever teaching us to love teaching before we were even aware of their influence across our life spans; and

To our talented authors who through their collection of thoughts, best practices, strategies, and techniques graciously share with readers a glimpse of the teaching environments into which they breathe life year after year.
