I strongly agree with the the section in this chapter titled, "Don't stick to textbooks." Some teachers stick directly to the textbook, while others try and diversify the instruction and use different topics.
I want to be the teacher that does very little with the textbooks. As a student I was not a big fan of textbooks, because 1. they were a pain to carry around, and 2. they were intimidating. I had a hard time looking at the text from a math book and making something from it. I will probably only use my math textbook to get math problems from it. Using different ideas from outside the textbook are good for students because they won't think it's the typical nonsense from the book.
