Dr. Jax has really hit on something with her spiritual stages. As a Superintendent, I would love to see the teachers in my district develop all aspects of themselves. It is no secret that a happy, inspired teacher can bring about more classroom achievement . This is the best type of professional development, I will recommend this book!

In the Seven Spiritual Stages, Dr. Jax shows teachers how to improve their teaching strategies as they improve their internal lives. Jax adeptly avoids the perils of doctrine and dogma as she gives teachers the skills to bring God back into the school.
