Teachers for Life is a book of educational psychology, philosophy of education, and pedagogy that addresses what it mean to learn, creating a learning environment, motivation, intelligence, lesson planning, grading, and much more.

Max Malikow provides a review of some things new teachers have been taught, a preview of situations they are certain to encounter, and a compensation for some things they should be. He draws upon his 33 years of teaching, knowledge of educational research, and the collective experience of countless teachers. Teachers for Life will be of interest to current and aspiring teachers.
Industry Reviews
Dr. Max Malikow combines educational psychology, cultural literacy, and humor to perfection in this book for all teachers. His thorough knowledge of the mechanics and philosophy of teaching make this a must-read book for all educators, from pre-service teachers to wily veterans. The best lessons are the ones in which the students enjoy the learning process-this book is such a lesson. -- Hermon Card, author of The Poetry of Teaching
He works through a series of questions everyone who has even considered teaching asks (such as "What does it mean to learn something?" and "What is motivation?") and along with good solid advice and practical ideas slides in meaningful anecdotes, fun exercises, and the general impression that teaching is a beautiful thing, as is learning. * Reference and Research Book News *
There is much that I liked here, including the opening section on learning which demonstrates vividly that knowing about something isn't the same as learning it. * Times Educational Supplement *
This slim work would make an ideal gift for a new teacher, a five-year teacher on the verge of burning out, or a veteran teacher in need of validation. * Kappa Delta Pi Record *
This is a kind of Tuesdays With Morrie for teachers ...It was a pleasure to read such good, clear, crisp, and often funny writing. -- Dr. Tom Lickona, author of Character Matters and director of the Center for the 4th and 5th R's
