From the Front Lines to the Front of the Class

Most education books are written by experts who left the classroom years ago.

This one was written by a teacher who was there yesterday.

Drawing on over two decades of teaching, author Kevin Grove has lived the daily realities of bells, broken equipment, difficult students, and small victories that never make the headlines. In this practical and honest book, he pairs authentic stories from his own classroom alongside leadership lessons from historical figures such as Eisenhower, Lincoln, Einstein, and Churchill to explore what really shapes a school:

How to build respect instead of demanding it

Why failure can be a teacher's greatest tool

The power of structure, humor, and high expectations

Grading that reflects learning instead of compliance

Written for teachers, administrators, and anyone who mentors young people, From the Front Lines to the Front of the Class is not about perfect classrooms--it's about real ones and how to make them better.
