Teaching
Author: Gerry Dee
Publisher: Anchor Canada
ISBN: 0385677472
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
Hilarious, cringe-inducing stories about teachers, students and parents, from CBC star of Mr. D, one of Canada's hottest comedic talents. Gerry Dee is a rising comic star whose humour has been compared to Bill Cosby's. He spent ten years working as a teacher and survived (barely) to tell his tales. Told from the honest point-of-view of a not-so-good, often-very-bad public school teacher--the kind who teaches hungover (and lies about it), loses his students' exams (and lies about it), and stages an impromptu baseball game in the middle of history class just to kill some time, Teaching: It's Harder Than It Looks is Mr. D at his best. This book collects Gerry's funniest anecdotes about teaching, about students and about their parents. As Gerry's ode to school life, it's sure to bring back a memory or two, whether you were the teacher's pet or the class clown. Throughout, he offers tongue-in-cheek "Teacher Tips and Tricks," uncomfortable notes to parents, awkward report cards and all manner of memorabilia of school days. He's extremely funny, on the page as well as in person, and he's the kind of personality who will reach out beyond his own core comedy audience to a broad demographic of educators, parents and students who relate to his humour and experiences.

Fragments
Author: Marianne Maciborski
Publisher: Tate Publishing
ISBN: 1617390364
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 132
Book Description
At this point I felt as if I had been caught between a rock and a hard place... I might as well just drop out of school now, I thought, and save myself the time and effort. That was when it hit me. Dr. Yocum had done something that I had never done, she believed in me. Up until now I had never known those words. When she was only five years old, a brain aneurism left Marianne Maciborski with permanent disabilities. As she struggled to relearn how to speak and walk, she also struggled to find her place in the world. She went through the motions of school and work but remained withdrawn and did her best to avoid people. It is not until she entered college and found other people who believe in her that she was finally able to believe in herself and to fully trust in God. Join Marianne as she tells the inspirational story of one woman's struggle to overcome all the odds. She does not allow heartbreak, ridicule, and sorrow to define her life, and is instead transformed into a woman of strength, power, and joy. Out of the Fragments, a whole life is formed.

Essential Moments
Author: Dr. Antonio L. Carvajal
Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 1462834280
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 347
Book Description
Essential Moments begins with the struggles experienced by a small boy in a large family upon the untimely death of his father. His story traces a quest for a better life. Seeking a way out of poverty, he kept his eye on the prize: a college education. To some, he talked funny and wrote awkwardly, yet he finally became what he always wanted to be: a teacher. But teaching special education in the American Public School System, and later as a college professor, wasnt an easy road. With equal parts tenacity, humor, naivet, and a bit of a super-man complex, he fought his battles-and the battles of others-before finally settling on what was truly essential. This book will resonate to Mexican- Americans and other Latinos who have been asked to change proud parts of their identity to adhere to mainstream society. It will also be compelling to all educators who have struggled for adequate resources to provide enriching environments for their students. Essential Moments is a teachers story and a story of a child that grew up in poverty in a Texas barrio. However, it is ultimately a universal story about family, friendships, success, failures, setbacks, disappointments, and pursuing a dream to the end.

Coming to Narrative
Author: Arthur P Bochner
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1315432080
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 351
Book Description
Reflecting on a 50 year university career, Distinguished Professor Arthur Bochner, former President of the National Communication Association, discloses a lived history, both academic and personal, that has paralleled many of the paradigm shifts in the human sciences inspired by the turn toward narrative. He shows how the human sciences—especially in his own areas of interpersonal, family, and communication theory—have evolved from sciences directed toward prediction and control to interpretive ones focused on the search for meaning through qualitative, narrative, and ethnographic modes of inquiry. He outlines the theoretical contributions of such luminaries as Bateson, Laing, Goffman, Henry, Gergen, and Richardson in this transformation. Using diverse forms of narration, Bochner seamlessly layers theory and story, interweaving his professional and personal life with the social and historical contexts in which they developed.
