Braggy and I found him hard to take.

I listened to 2-1/2 hours and couldn't take anymore. He was too much. Gimmicky. I can tell he thinks he is a great teacher.

Best Motivational Teaching Book Ever!

As I’m finishing the last part of my teaching degree, I was asked to read 5 books from a list of about 30. I was not excited about this because of the time it takes to read 5books! However, finding this book in an audio version changed my opinion. Dave is such a wonderful speaker and he truly motivates me to become the teacher I want to be. Wow, what a great experience listening to him. I can only imagine how his keynote speaking in person is! This is definitely worth the 4 hours of your time if you are a teacher needing some inspiration!

ehhh

his concept makes sense. but he lost me on the "how to be a better lover" example. He could have related his ideas differently.

Teach like a Pirate is inspirational

Are you in the capacity of a teacher? If so you will get some inspired ideas from this book. The passion with which the narrator/author reads the content is as if he is simply talking to you, which I like! Great book for the beginning teacher and for the veteran teacher. The audio sample given is a true representation of what you’re going to get from this book!

Great passion and enthusiasm!

Filled with great ideas and philosophies.
He talked about what he did but worked hard to not make about himself. Challenges you to stretch yourself.

AMAZING!

Must read for every educator of any level!! Thought provoking and makes you want to get up & get busy NOW! Thank you Dave for bringing it all to life!! TEACH LIKE A PIRATE ALWAYS!!

Aaaarrrrggghhh.

Don't teach like parrot. Teach like a pirate! Truly inspirational read or in this case, listen.

concise and on point

If you teach at any level, this book is inspirational and practical at the same time. The author has clearly honed his analysis and examples over years of teaching workshops and seminars. though he has his experience teaching at the high school level, I found that all of these ideas applied well at the university level, where I have taught for two decades. For experienced teachers, this book will be at times a revelation and other times a validation. All along the way, it's just a fun listen.
