5.0

An accessible yet significant read! Noddings has a very approachable writing style that she uses to communicate central insights into what we have the opportunity (and arguably the responsibility) to teach in our school system. It's an inspiring book for aspiring educators and experienced educators alike.

As Noddings says in chapter 4, "As listeners, we are soaked in obligation" (107). After reading Critical Lessons, I happily felt an obligation to teach things that really matter and like I had a better sense of what that might actually mean.
