Essential Knowledge for Teachers is an excellent tool that should be required reading for teachers and those training to be teachers. It is replete with ideas that will aid teachers in doing their best work with students, fellow teachers, administrators, parents, and the community. Barbara Culp has gathered information gleaned from more than four decades teaching elementary and middle school, as well as serving as principal of a large elementary school. In essence, it is a “how-to” book that shows one how to get the most out of the teaching experience for all involved.
