"This book is cultural responsive teaching in action." -Dr. Tyronne Tanner, Former Professor, Mentor & Diversity Expert "As my Spanish 1,2, and 3 teacher Dr. Miller engaged all of her students by challenging us to think." -Brandee Braden, Former Student "As my Spanish teacher, you made the lessons fun, yet relatable to us so we could grasp the concept. We had fun projects we could do to implement what we learned, but when it was time for testing, you played no games, had the highest expectations. Fun relaxed but stern." - -Vera Taku, Former Student "Her job title may be 'teacher, ' but her actions show the heart and soul of a dedicated and caring educator. She understands what many teachers in this day and age do not: teaching isn't just classroom curriculum and standardized testing. Teaching is loving; teaching is caring." -Raquel Morrison, Former Student "She teaches in a way that plants seeds of knowledge, wisdom, and understanding into the lives of her students. She always challenged us-calling forth the potential in us that we can't quite see within ourselves. I'm forever grateful for Dr. Miller's dedication to inspire, encourage, and uplift us all." -Minnie Collins, Former Student Even after more than 20 years as an educator, Dr. Queinnise Miller continues to have a passion for teaching, learning and leading. As a teacher, motivational speaker, trainer, author, and educational leader, Dr. Miller is driven by a belief that all children deserve a world class education regardless of cultural or economic background. Her proudest work has been that of a school principal where she believes her job is to support and serve the people who make the magic happen, the people who really make the difference, teachers. In her book Dr. Miller shares her story as a teacher in an urban school and offers advice, suggestions, and insights for aspiring, new, and veteran teachers. Dr. Miller holds a bachelor's degree in Spanish, a master's in Educational Administration and a Doctor of Philosophy in Educational Leadership. She is also a devoted wife and mother of two beautiful children.
