The Challenge of Greatness: The Legacy of Great Teachers reveals the characteristics and teaching strategies of Great Teachers. Simultaneously the book describes a Pantheon of thirty-two great teachers, and challenges the reader to continue their legacy by becoming one. Recognizing the uniqueness of a great teacher, the book raises the kind of issues they face, and a range of possibilities from which they find solutions.
Students, schools, and their communities benefit from the legacy of great teachers. Good teachers push their students, but great teachers teach their students to push themselves within and beyond the walls of the classroom. Gose is one of these great teachers, and his book challenges the good to become great.
