Practical, realistic, clear, and helpful advice, specific to supply teaching. I will definitely be trying to put some of his suggestions into practice.

[Luke Illeniram]

Bill Rogers is just a fantastic communicator in both his videos and written word. A wonderful educator and someone teachers of 50 years could learn something from I'm sure. Looking forward to reading my next Rogers book.
