Book Reviews: ”I found the book "Are You Ready to Teach?" an absolutely delightful read. Every young person considering teaching as a career, as well as those ready to begin this wonderful profession should read it and keep it in their classroom desk drawer for future reference. This book is special for me because I had the privilege of working with Mary as a teaching colleague and as her principal for over twenty years. She was a great teacher and mentor to many young people. She truly practiced what she preaches with proven success. I only wish I could have read this book my first year of teaching.” ---David W. Surrey (High School Principal/former Teacher) "After spending 45 years as a teacher, coach and administrator, my first impression was that this book should be required reading for every student in Education 101 regardless of what school they attend. My reason for this thinking is that it goes directly to the most important part of teaching, and that is the student. It covers the most important things that we as teachers must have to be able to be a good teacher. I found the book to be easy reading, very comprehensive and to the point." ---Edward T. Knecht (former Teacher/Coach/College Administrator) “Mary Gecowets is a teacher, not a theorist. Her book is reality based and practical; it espouses a student centered approach to teaching. Mary’s conversational writing style makes Are You Ready to Teach? flow easily from start to finish.” ---Willis Holcombe, PhD (Chancellor, Florida College System/ former College President) “Mary Gecowets was the prototype for the “master” teacher. In this book Mary presents an introductory discussion for prospective teachers. The pages are few, but the lessons offered are critical. I believe that this work is invaluable to any person already teaching or anyone considering an entry into the profession.” ---Blaine Beekman (published author/ fomer Teacher/Mayor/ Chamber of Commerce Director/County Commissioner) “.....the author gave authentic life learning examples. Not allowing the four letter word “can’t” in her classroom was priceless. Helping young people “reach down inside” is an art that only a great teacher can do. Mary wrote the way a good teacher would write about her love of teaching. I felt the book was antidotal and authentic.” ---Euggle Robertson (former Teacher/Principal/Superintendent)
