Tuned In and Fired Up: How Teaching Can Inspire Real Learning in the Classroom
by Sam M. Intrator
Yale University Press, 2003
ISBN: 0300100221

Parker Palmer, founder of The Courage To Teach Program writes, "Sam Intrator is one of the brightest lights in education today. His excellence as a teacher, his commitment to our public schools, his passion for the well-being of the young and those who teach the, his remarkable way with words, and his unwavering integrity mark him as a key leader in the rising generation of scholar activists who can help bring meaning and purpose back to education."

In this inspiring book, Intrator recounts memorable experiences in the classroom and discusses how teachers and their students can experience more of these rewarding times. He describes five detailed case studies, describing in each case how the teacher shaped the culture of the class, made critical pedagogical decisions, and connected with students.
